incoming passenger/crew lists for ships

Thora Report 7 Nov 2013 12:35

I have details of H Wyers on board leaving the UK as a passenger on 3 occasions :
1897 Destination Boston. ship: CANADA.
1907 Destination Montreal. ship: VICTORIA.
1909 Destination New York ship: LUSITANIA
Family rumours are that my Grandfather abandoned his wife and children to go to America. If this was true then I believe the passenger to be my relative.
Of interest 1911 census shows his wife as "widow" whereas my Grandfather died 1915 in England.
I would like to know where I can find passenger list for incoming ships (his youngest son was born in May 1907).

The only H Wyers coming up on incoming lists is in 1921, coming from South Africa.

Thanks to all - I did have the three ships information.
Potty, yes this is my Grandfather.
Jax, How do I find the pages you mentioned.
Again thanks for prompt replies and interest and hopefully guidance from Jax.

I found those on Find my past....but they are also on Genes and Ancestry

Obviously the 1897 one is not your man...The 1909 does not give an initial...and I couldn't see one in 1907 to post

Marge, no my Harold's wife was Maud Mary (nee Davies)
Jax, I do not belong to Find My Past I use The Genealogist site. and Ancestry ( only basic membership on that one. Every site seems to cost a fortune if you need to search further in depth!
My information came from Genes but I didn't see anywhere that I could check accompanying family.
Thanks for the advice anyway.

Marie Celeste, Yes this is my Grandparents and family, son Edward was my father.
Jax, Did the 1897 passenger list give dob,first names or initials for H Wyers accompanying family? Harold married Maud in 1888.and they had 3 children by 1897 - 1 daughter Mary dob 1896. 2 sons Robert dob 1895, George 19 93. Having experienced transcription errors on various researches I have the faint hope that the 1897 list is the one I am looking for.
