    Default Ranchi and Strathmore 1949 , 1951

    Hi everyone, searching in vain for my birth mother who lived in Tamworth area, UK in 1940 0n.
    She was a trained nurse and was born in Lebong India in 1927
    Travelled to Sydney on Ranchi arriving Sydney in Sept 26th 1949. Later returned to UK in late 1951 on Srathmore.
    Cannot find any accurate birth date to ensure more accurate search.
    Her name; Theresa annie Short nee Hilton. Anyone have photos or memories of these crossings. Any advice on conducting a more successful search would be appreciated. Thanks Ian

    Hello Ian

    The SS Ranchi in 1949 was on the Australian route carrying emigrants, during the war it had been used as a troopship

    You will appreciate that searching Indian records is quite specialised , and as your birth mother was born in India, I would suggest you look at this site The main site is wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Main_Page. you will need to enter prefixed with www.

    My contact in the society lives in Australia, however I would suggest you contact one of the officers of the Society with regard to tracing a more accurate birth date......

    Theresa SHORT returned to the UK on 3/12/1951 on board the P&O Strathmore, her UK address was given as Clarence Road Grays Essex, her employ was that of a Nurse

    There is a Annie Short marriage = Hilton in 1955 in Oldham Lancs
