On a llghter note,
On George Arnold Frederick Heyne's file, did you notice, some smart-ass wrote the word "curry" in pencil above INDIA as in "MADRAS CURRY"

Adding: Wonder if they thought he was "Hot"

Hi Betty,
Can you just revisit the finding by your friend of Robert's departure for NZ from NSW in 1921.

Can you give us the month and ship etc.
I can't locate it.

You mentioned it in Reply #5

Well, I suppose it might well be him, BUT the image of the original manifest is very clearly typed
R. B STEVENS. Aged 23. England (meaning nationality.... which Robert was)

The other details given by your researcher are correct.

Press, Vol LVII, Issue 17128, 25 April 1921, page 10.
The Huddart-Parker Company’s passenger steamer Ulimaroa left Sydney at 2 pm on Thursday with 259 passengers and 600 tons of cargo for Wellington direct.

There is a passenger list in the Evening Post of 26 April 1921, page 6,
I suspect that a Mr Stevens travelled to Wellington NZ as steerage as that newspaper does not include anyone surnamed SEALE or STEVENS, in its main listing, but does note 127 steerage without naming them.

R. B. STEVENS was grouped under a column headed Labourers and Domestics.

I'm doubting RB Stevens being my dad, Robert, as the 2 references which mentioned a middle initial were W and H - which I take to reference either Walter or Henry.  Thank you, Betty
