Incoming passenger list for 1878-1960 [COMPLETED] thankyou

[ShaunJ]

The 1911 mistranscription was on my part  - it is in fact indexed as Herbert Albert Greaves. Apologies.

[johngirl]

Not a problem ShaunJ.

So happy with what you have found for me. I have checked out a few details and the ages on the records for Otho Greaves fit in nicley

I had been searching for him for two years
I had him dead and buried.

Here's another one - SS Boutry arr Liverpool 23 May 1921

First Class

Mr OD Greaves  46 - London and North Western Hotel Liverpool - agent - last perm residence West Africa (Nigeria) - embarked at Forcados

[ShaunJ]

They are also on the Adda arr Liverpool in August 1927 from Lagos

Capt OD Greaves 52 - agent
Mrs RA Greaves

UK address given as 92 Cressy Road Portsmouth

[ShaunJ]

And they were on the Appam - an Elder Dempster vessel - arr Liverpool from Lagos in March 1926 - he is described as a "Steamship Company's Agent" - perhaps he was the Elder Dempster agent in Lagos?

Blimey

Otho and Rhoda were certainly busy and  here I thought that aunt Rhoda would have had a most boring life No she was trapsing all over the place with her not dead husband who seemed to be a well to do person.

I`m named after my G aunt Rhoda but my dad added an n and made it Rhonda.

Here`s me put completed on the post

All I have to do know is find where they died and are buried. But where
They could be from England to West Africa

I did find a birth for a Frank L O Greaves born Portsmouth in 1914 mothers surename was Isaac. Maybe I better have a closer look at this one.

Herbert may have had a brother

Thankyou once again for the details ShaunJ. I see that you can get records of the seaman. Will have to send the National Archives or Maritime Museum an email to find out some details on how to get records about them.

 Regards Johngirl

He was a captain so there should be something in the Captains Registers at the Guildhall Library in London.

They are building an online index but they haven't done the G's yet!

An engineer Frank Lewis Oliver Greaves, age 26, of 8 South Road, Drayton, Hants sailed for Kingston Jamaica  on 9 October 1939 on the Ariguani from Avonmouth. His ultimate destination was Colombia.

Per Google Books he was made an Associate of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy in 1942.

Oh this is fantastic

I have goggled and googled trying to find information on Otho Greaves. I musn`t be doing it right
I had searched mainly for mariners but that didn`t give me any details on an Otho Greaves. No wonder I couldn`t find him looking for a mere mariner. He was a Captain

If I had looked a bit harder I would have found him. Thankyou ShaunJ and downunder for your all your efforts in helping me.

Do you think this Frank Lewis Oliver Greaves would be a son to Rhoda and Otho. They seem to be living in the same place [South Road,Drayton,Hants] or would this just be an Accomodation Place for Mariners and Captains that sailed for the Elders Dempster Company or other Companys?
I have googled but can`t find anything about Accomodation Places for Mariners etc.

There are possibly more children to Otho and Rhoda so I will have to go and look. The difference in ages between Herbert Albert Greaves and this possible brother Frank seems to be a big gap. [Twenty Years] Well here I go asuming again

  Thankyou once again.
