I wonder if his was slightly grander and paid for by the employer, and the other ship was a little more affordable? Or did he want total peace and quiet? :D

They were all travelling Saloon (1st) class. I think Dr Wolfe may have been a through passenger from Sydney to Melbourne and then on to London, whereas the wife and children boarded in Melbourne.

That is very odd

I can find no shipping record of Barry or Stephanie travelling from England to South Africa, under the surnames Bruce or Wallace. Might they have travelled under a different name?

Also I could not see them in the British 1939 register (taken in Sept), so they may have left the UK earlier than that.

It wouldn't surprise me a different name , I had been told they went on the first day of the war but I've not seen anything .

I'm new so please be gentle, Im trying to find details on a palmist named Stephanie Wallace Bruce married to a Bruce. She used many different names in her profession but I'm trying to find more details on her and her husband as Ive no dob or death but they lived in London in 1930s where she would do her palm reading.
