Hello.... :)

Closest I can come up with is for the Steamship Line Orient - ship Otranto which departed from London 25th April 1936 and bound for Australia but the port which some passengers were contracted to land was Port Said, Egypt.
Ticket number 415 was Mrs. Cain housewife & Master Cain aged 4, last address United Kingdom

Great news what a result!

 I am concerned about is the Mrs title as she wasn't married, but if she had a son and not married well Mrs it was in those days

Thank you for your help I really appreciate it.
