WE had an ancestor who died in Buenos Aires and was buried in the British Cemetery there.
We wrote to the British Consulate and they were so helpful, even sending us a photo of the headstone.
This was some years back.

I have searched through 1,406 passenger lists looking for a family who sailed from Buenos Aires to England between 1905 and 1909. without any luck.
Letters/stories written by two separate ancestors who were members of the family mention and confirm this trip in detail. But as the letters were written when the family members were older the dates may not be quite accurate!
One letter mentions that 10 tickets were bought and that the family were to leave Uraguay on Sept 2nd 1907. The steamer of White Star Line from Australia to England named “Ionic”
The family stayed in England for about two months before returning back to Buenos Aires.
Im given to understand there would have been eight people plus a maid in the party.
Family members would be.
Mrs Annie Wright b 1861.
Carrie/Jennie Wright b 1887
. John William Wright b 1891.
Annie Wright b1892
Nellie Gertrude Wright b1894.
Sydney Wright b 1896.
Edith Constantia Wright b1898
Arturo Wright b 1901
Elsie Maude Wright b 1903
If anyone can help in this search I would be very grateful
