Passenger look-up pls (Emigrants returning from Sarawak)
« on: Tuesday 28 October 08 08:19 GMT (UK) »
Would SKS please search for the return of these two couples from Sarawak, probably via Singapore?

Donald Adrian Owen (b. 1880) and wife, Dorothy Gladys (b. 1887)

Edwin William Cox Graham-White (b. 1883) and wife, Elsa Violet (b. 1885)

Dorothy and Elsa were my father's aunts. He recalled them returning to England during the 1930s.

Many thanks in advance, Justin

Lindy-Lou,

Thank you so much. That's them alright.

Donald junior was still alive a couple of years ago.

The youngest son, Hugh Adrian Owen, was born in Sarawak in 1926.

That's fantastic!

Dorothy's youngest brother was the manager of that branch.

Hello Justin
I am married to the daughter of Hugh Owen and was wondering what the connection is that you have to the Owen family?
