SS Olympic June 1921 to New York
« on: Thursday 08 September 11 03:35 BST (UK) »
Ancestry gave free access to Emigration records last weekend. I saved the record of my grandfather's last voyage but now find I need to pay to access the actual record. Can anyone please look up Frederick William Knott (born 1872, Sydenham, Kent)  New York Passenger List SS Olympic arrived June 21 New York from London. I am very interested in finding what his crew position is listed as.
The Ancestry reference is:
22 June 1921 New York Passenger List. Olympic. Microfilm Serial T715, Roll T715_2985, Line 18

He's listed as a B.R.S.
I'm not sure what that means but I did find one reference, Bed Room Steward.  :-\

Many thanks, that has shot down the family legend that he was a purser.

Thanks for the Ellis Island site. Great help on all those British ancestors who vanished from England. Did find out the height and weight of my grandfather from the Ellis Island records.
Every little bit of info helps fill out the picture
