Date Posted: 22/01/08 4:02am In reply to: Lynne Chesterman 's message, "Rangitiki Passenger List 1946" on 22/01/08 2:06am Hello Lynne, Welcome to the site. I dont have any passenger lists as such,but here is a bit of info that may assist you in tracing what you are seeking. There are many sites onthe Web of course,so i hope that these may assist you. All ships carrying passengers in or out of any British port were required by law to lodge a passenger list with the relevant port authorities. Records for ship passengers travelling between 1890 and 1960 are available in the UK Board of Trade's collection of original passenger lists. These can be seen at the Public Record Office in Kew, England. More information is available at <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.pro.gov.uk/research/easysearch/migration.htm">http://www.pro.gov.uk/research/easysearch/migration.htm</a> After 1960, UK Passenger Lists do not exist, primarily because of increasing air travel. <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.immigrantships.net/index.html">http://www.immigrantships.net/index.html</a> Where to start? The UK Public Records Office ( www.pro.gov.uk ) if your relation travelled before 1960. A better option may be the National Archives in New Zealand www.archives.govt.nz/holdings/immigration_frame.html Archives New Zealand Head Office Wellington holds passenger lists for nearly all ships arriving in New Zealand for the period 1883-1973. On arrival in New Zealand, ships handed formal Passenger Lists to a customs officer. The Social Security Department used these Passenger Lists to check people's eligibility for old age pensions. They are referred to as the Social Security passenger lists. Another source could be the Library in Christchurch NZ, who also maintain Passenger Lists <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://library.christchurch.org.nz/Guides/PassengerLists/">http://library.christchurch.org.nz/Guides/PassengerLists/</a> Appologies that this is a bit lengthy!
