Title: Osterley and Remeura
Post by: LiliBean on Sunday 15 January 12 07:46 GMT (UK)
Hi I am looking for some help with my grandfather's travels on the Osterley to Plymouth arriving 30th April 1914 and his trip back on the Remeura leaving Uk 17th Oct 1915 and arriving in Auckland 7th December 1915.  I would love to see the passenger lists for these ships but the only place I can find them listed in the UK is at the National Archives.   Does anyone have any other way I can get a copy of these to see?  He also stopped at Napoli and Colombo on the way over there.  A week after he arrived he also went to Paris for a week.   i am trying to write up his travels.  Thanks.

Ancestry has UK Incoming Passenger Lists.
FindMyPast has Passenger Lists Leaving UK (1890-1960).

But for both a name is required ;D

Just a note on the spelling of the 'Remeura', it may be transcription error  :-\ as I have seen a question previously with it spelt that way but believe it to be the RMS Remuera.

Thank you KGarrad and mare for your information.  I have found out yesterday the Remeura passenger list and got a copy of it from Find my Past.  It is the passenger list for the Osterley that I would like now and I will certainly try some of the many sites you have given me mare.  Some I have already tried.      Thanks for your help.

Ancestry has 11 images of passenger list for the Osterley on this sailing - if you use the 'browse' option to find them use London as the arrival port rather than Plymouth.

She obviously stopped at Plymouth first - (and Tilbury) but London was her final destination - and that is how Ancestry have her indexed

She appears to have embarked passengers at Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart, Melbourne, Adelaide, Fremantle, Colombo, Port Said, Naples, Toulon and Gibraltar

Hope this helps you find it

Yes, mare's right...it's named after a suburb of Auckland, NZ. And mare's in NZ, so she'd know :D
