Incoming passenger list for 1878-1960 [COMPLETED] thankyou

[johngirl]

Hi all,

Can some kind person check the incoming passenger list for a Otho Desse Greaves.
I have no idea were abouts he would come from. He was born in 1875 and married my Great aunt in 1895 at Toxteth Park Liverpool. Not sure even where he was born. Only know his birth year which may not be right from the marriage certificate.

Thankyou downunder     Thankyou ShaunJ

I think I may have finally found my G Uncle. On his marriage certificate when he married my G aunt Rhoda it said under occupation that he was a mariner    .He had disappered in the 1901 census. Aunt Rhoda remarried in 1926. Will have to find a divorce for them.

Here's a puzzle for you:

He was on the  MS Apapa arr Plymouth from W C Africa December 1930. He's accompanied by wife Rhoda Alberta aged 53. Address Forcados South Rd Drayton Hants.

So was this Rhoda Alberta Isaac...or did he have two wives called Rhoda Alberta?

Are you sure about Rhoda's remarriage in 1926?

[ShaunJ]

Wife Rhoda Alberta was also with him on the MS Adda arr Liverpool July 1924 from WCAfrica. Address 92 Cressy Road Portsmouth.

[ShaunJ]

Rhoda Alberta Greaves age 34 from Liverpool is in the 1911 census in Portsmouth.

I did a search for other Greaves in Portsmouth with a Rhoda Alberta Greaves in the same household and up came a listing for Herbert Arthur Albert Greaves age 14.

[johngirl]

Well.

And all this time I thought her husband had done a bunk [or died] and left her and she remarried.  
Yes Rhoda Alberta Isaac was his wife.
Now I definetly know she never remarried. I must never asume things should I.   My cousin gave me this information about G aunt Rhoda remarrying. Will have to tell him the news
ShaunJ I also found that information. on the 1911 census. I haven`t checked the actual transcript as yet.[ a bit broke at the mo     ] Herbert Albert Greaves was her son. Arthur must be an error I thnk. Herbert was born in Toxteth Park in 1896. He was named after my Grandfather Herbert Henry Isaac who emmigrated to Tasmania  sometime between 1891 and 1896. He was also a mariner here in Hobart Tasmania and then became a Lighthouse Keeper.

Thankyou ShaunJ for finding this juicy bit of information for me.
