Ships Records

[mso1]

I am trying to find out more details about a journey undertaken by my Great Grandmother in 1913 aboard the SS Royal Edward, Bristol to Canada in January 1913. On the passenger list she was listed as deported (I think on arrival in Canada) and was subsequently detained at Avonmouth docks, taken to the workhouse where she died a couple of weeks later of a brain hemorrhage. Does anyone know anything about individual ships records? Particuarly anything relating to medical records or anything to do with deportation. Did each ship keep a seperate record of each journey and if so where would they be located?

The Royal Edward seems to have made only one voyage from Bristol to Canada in 1913, arriving in Halifax, Nova Scotia on January 17.
You can view the 21 page ship manifest here, although several of the pages seem difficult to read.

Very few of those records remain, but if there is anything  on her it would likely be in these files
Rejections and Exclusions from United Kingdom, 1910-1914
Rejections and Deportation to British Isles from Canada, 1909-1917
(RG 76, file 3116, pt. 2, reel C-4737)
Register for deportation of undesirable immigrants, 1907-1909 and 1913-1914
(RG 76, file 625452, reel C-10307)
There also may be other reels you may want searched...scroll and read...

These may only contain a list names, no guarantee they kept records of reason for deportation...Doesn't hurt to try.

P.S. the higher numbers often matched the economy of the country, lack of jobs, etc.
