Hi Betty
I'm still chipping away at Marjorie Seale and the other Marjorie with her on the electoral roll in England

So I will give you what I have now.

In 1956 a chap named ?*** Seale returned by ship from London to Bombay. He was a doctor born 29/6/1921 and travelled with wife and family. Interestingly  it was on the same ship Batory as Marjorie and Co. had been on in 1953 (see reply#193)

 
 I'll PM his name

I do not have access to FindMyPast, but I think his birth is listed there with some details.
I felt it might be worth looking at.

I found an online chat item  which is relevant to Marjorie ( probably nee WILKINS) and others.  Have a look

Sue, that is amazing researching. After some time I finally located the article. With my luck she has probably passed away as that was 10 years ago, and she says she's 79. I'll give it a burl. Thank you. And the Trevor Seale link. Will also look into that, and find the family ties. I know I've come across it before. Many thanks, Betty.

Oh, my latest. I'm now in regular touch with Sheila's grandson, and he says he has 4 Robert's in his tree. Knowing my background, he is going to suss them out and get back to me. Meantime, I'm still going to go down all avenues to be sure to be sure.
Is there someone knowledgeable enough to look up George Heyme's army records? What regiment was he in? Maybe even who else was in it? Ta Betty.

I am really glad you are following it through.  It may be a worthwhile lead.
