Hi,
I have just used up 30 credits to look at an image, and i cant see the image! it was a passenger traveling to South Africa in 1933.
Just wondered if anybody could have a look for me?
Its for H. Pearson b.1906, traveling from Southampton to Durban, South Africa on 1st Sept. 1933. If there is a problem with the image then i can report it to FMP.
Hope someone can help,
Alison.

Hi Alison, I'm definitely having problems with that image - it's just showing a blue bar on the page.

Make sure you get your credits back!

Thanks for the transcription, i was hoping to look at the image to see if he was traveling with anybody.
On Ancestry, i found that he came back to UK in may 1933, and he was alone, but just wondered if he had gone back with anybody.
Also, i cant find when he first went out to South Africa! with him traveling to UK in 1933, there must be some record for when he first went out to South Africa!

Thanks for the info,

Alison. :-D
