Hi Just interested in finding actual passenger list for the above arrival Look to find family of James Linton (Luiton) miss spelling. On the arrival of above ship was James Linton eldest son of the late James Linton one of the pioneers of Palmerston North. (The Oronsay arrived Wellington 29 Dec 1934 ) as above did wife and children arrive as well is there wife and children? Thanks Anne

The passenger list is on Family Search (free to register) https://www.familysearch.org/search/.

There's a 60 yr old J Linton (solicitor) travelling on the 'Oronsay' with 58 yr old A Linton (domestic duties). Presumably husband and wife. No children listed with them but if they had married daughters, they'd be travelling under a different surname.

Many Thanks my very old computer stall's cough's and spits at family search I have tried the lite version and sometimes I am lucky sometimes no sadly Though information to me is interesting. James Linton snr was here as a pioneer of Palmerston North so arrival of son James in 1934 at the age of 60 is jolly old??? I have a Sarah Ann/e Linton connected to a Kibblewhite but that then leaves her out... A Archibald Munro Linton in the 1936 1997 time period. But sadly eyes and time of night I'll leave this for the now but thanks ed65

Thanks for that I love looking at old pictures especially when they are related in some way :) Often wonder how much we miss when spellings aren't right Luiton to me isn't a bit like Linton but same people Guess from Scotland accent would have been strong and could be misunderstood. Thanks again

The info in those links might steer you to find the info you want. They came back from Australia, so sailed from there to here. They also left NZ to go there so those shipping lists will hold info about them that the list for the Oronsay so much later won't.

Check BDM for births and marriages of the right era in NZ, and do searches in Australia to find out what was happening in the family during those years. Finding James snr's kids here makes it potentially easier to find them in Australia, too.

Sadly this computer won't load family search Sorry I thought I'd said that use to be able to use the lite edition but now I can't even do that.. There are quite a few things I can not longer do on this computer that I use to be able to...

This is the Port of Auckland manifest 20 December 1934.
According to the newspapers the Oronsay was cruising and the manifest says the voyage was from Brisbane to London. These Lintons joined the ship at Sydney and were destined for Sydney.
