     Departing London on 28th Nov 1914 for the Cape on the "BALMORAL CASTLE, were these two passengers:

     Mrs W.R. Filby    aged 27    b 1887
     Master Filby                  3       1911

     Do you know about this one?

Hi Thanks very much.
 I didn't know about this one and it looks as though Mike was right that they didn't take the 7th November sailing with the two items being crossed out!! Must have delayed it a week?
Can I ask does it give a last place of residence or any other information at all? I think this is WAH and his mother.

     No, its one of those ships passenger lists that only give the bare minimum of details.          I found it on Find My Past.          I will have another look in case I have missed anything.       It's a pity I don't have my printer now: I used to send these things to people as an attachment.       (But it isn't a great passenger list anyway.)

        No...   I had a look.    ...all I left out was that Mrs W.R.Filby was a domestic, and she was British.
     
        I tried to find the birth in 1911 of the boy but couldn't.        ...Out of curiosity, though, I tried the census for 1911, just typing in Filby and for residence:Kent.        TWENTY SEVEN Filbys came up, most of them living in Bromley.

        Suggest that you could also try this to see if any of the first names might be familiar to you....
