Warrens at sea - searching for voyages

Submitted by jill on Wed, 08/21/2019 - 03:15

I’m still stuck on finding the sea voyages of several members of my family, who sneak out of Hong Kong and sneak back again on wily routes, it seems.  If I were able to check every single arrival and departures list in the newspapers, I would find them, but apart from the passenger lists on Ancestry.com I’m several voyages short and wonder if I can once more ask for help, in case anyone is better at newspaper searches than me (surely!), or can access websites that I can’t. I think the route via Kobe was sometimes used.

Among those I’m missing:

Laura Jane DRANSFIELD [????-????]

Laura Dransfield was the wife of Albert Dransfield who latterly ran his own import/export company, A. Dransfield & Co. She had two daughters, Laura Woolnough Campbell (probably by a previous marriage) and Dorothy Olive Dransfield. The Dransfields were close friends of the Warrens and Leslie Warren lived with them after his wife and children left for the UK in 1938. They seem to have rented The Towers. Albert Dransfield died in November 1940 and a letter from Leslie to his family in May 1941 relates that Laura had settled in Johannesburg but would have preferred to be in the UK.
