Hi Thank you so much for your help with my research. Sorry I don't believe this is the Hywoods family I am looking for as they were British and left the UK for America at some point
again thank you for you help

If you give the names, places and yob, we may be able to look them up.

Other than passenger lists, Ancestry has the 1941 census as well as a host of other data bases.

You can also try the free https://www.familysearch.org/

I can't see any Thomas Hywoods in any trees to get some clues.

Have worldwide ancestry and am happy to help but need more info.
