If you have travelling details FROM Argentina I'd be very interested to see them, might that be possible please? So far I've only found UK outbound sailings 1920, 1925, 1928, 1935, 1939, 1945.

And, if I can ask without outstaying my welcome , can you find any travel details for Edith Rose Chapman 1889, and / or Florence Weston 1894 to / from the Argentine? Edith was a very dear "aunt" but as far as I know was not related, by chance I discovered that Edith, her father, and my father were aboard the same boat bound for Buenos Aires in 1925, it would be interesting to know when she returned. There are suggestions that my father was romantically involved ;) with a Florence Weston, again by chance I found that she too went to Buenos Aires in 1930, again I wonder when she returned (I've no idea whether she is THE Florence Weston, or even whether the allegation was true, but it IS a coincidence!).

I know it was not what you asked for Keith, but I saw it as I was looking and just thought it would be interesting for you. Apart from that I have only found his travelling details to and from argentina. Nothing in newspapers as yet.

Good heavens! Thank you Sylvia, where on earth did you find this? The age, birthday, and father look right and he was born and raised in the area. I had no idea kids were sent to school at 3? His father was, I believe, a horseman at a coaching inn, hardly someone to send his kids to school I would have thought!

Thanks again!

Keith

My father, Arthur William Parr 1895, lived in Argentina for a long time, roughly 1920 - 40 but, apart from playing a lot of polo and managing a plantation store, I have little idea what he did there. There are rumours of an affaire but how to find out? It seems that something he did was newsworthy enough to reach the British press. I wonder whether anyone here has access to UK newspaper listings from that period could see what they could find please?
