Hi
That indeed could be him, I remember my father telling me his wife's name was Irene,  and that they may have lived in Ireland somewhere,  the ships name sounds firmiler,  though I am sure my father said they sailed from Glasgow

Hello,

I will get a Moderator to move this to the Main Board, as you have posted on the NZ Completed Requests Board, moving it will make it easier for folks to see.


Cheers
