Travel to France
« on: Monday 05 January 26 21:04 GMT (UK) »
Currently researching my GGrandmother and have been told she went to france at some point in the 1920s whilst in service. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find information about possible routes from Scotland (assume it would be by ship)
Thanks
Steven

I have never heard of any direct ferry service from Scotland to France. I rather think your ancestor would have travelled down by train to Dover or one of the other Channel ports and crossed to France there.

Thanks Elwyn I'll have a dig around and see if there's a way of tracing her in Dover
