Looking for any information on Sidney Worley who left UK in 1949 for New York but possible destination South America. Previously had been in Shanghai with his wife (my aunt), who sadly died there in 1943.

Unfortunately the passenger lists of arrivals in New York only has the earliest docking in New York of the Steamship Media as the 16/7/1949 so obviously some records appear to be missing.

He does not appear to have returned to the UK, not before 1960 at least.
