Thanks for your post PatLac
Though it doesn’t address the question that I am trying to find the answer to, it is helpful I adding insight to the problems with travel in those days.

The Common Room / Re: Ancestry Subscriptions

I have used Ancestry on and off for over 10 years.
My wife can canceled our subscription over a month ago.
I am sure that all boxes were checked correctly and the cancellation had registered.

My wife has just told me that Ancestry are still debiting her bank account.

This is not the first time such an oversight has been made. I think that on the previous occasion the money debited from the account was reinstated.
I am in a bit of a dilemma as what to do about it as I unthinkingly used the database two or three times fairly recently.

It strikes me that there is a fault in the system. 
Whether it is by design or not is debatable.

I searched Ancestry recently when our sub was still current. No success in finding that which I seek.

I wrote to an American site a few days ago. I have had no reply. In the light of the current problems in the US I am not sure that it is reasonable to expect an answer any time soon.

Strange. The link that I posted worked for me I note that it currently does not.
I will try and sort it after dinner.

# I have tried re-posting the link as shown.
The address worked me  I do not understand why a cp of it will not function

Bingo
It you activate

   Did you mean: Category:Carmania (ship, 1954)?
You should reach the right page.

William Kirtland was born at Charlton on Ottmoor about 1806, the child of Samuel and Ann. He was married to Sophia Yates 24 March 1834 at Thame by T. T Lee.
It seemed that William could write well where as Sophia signed the register with a X.
They had seven children together.
One of their daughters, Mary, married into the  Seagrave or Seagrove family. They had a shop on or near the Windsor Road at Sough
William  died in 1892 having lived a long life of 86 years.

I was under the impression that John K was a farmer and may have made a mistake somewhere.

Thanks for that.
I have been struggling to find the info for years.
This is the most promising thing I have seen yet.

I did not realise that the port had two names.

I think that the cruise ship called at Nassau and went on to fort Lauderdale
I have found a link but can not make significant sense of it
I am not sure of the date. Only that my late father was on the ship with his mother.

More to follow
