Here's a handful of names from the September 14,1946 sailing of the Queen Mary to Halifax and New York: US Army: Anderson, Delcie E M Archer, Hazel R B Armstrong, Isabella D Auriat, Doreen E, and Francis aged 2 Royal Canadian Air Force: Beckwith, Christina Bennett, Violet E, and Primrose A E M aged 18 months Billings, Mary E Bowen, Minnie Buff, Phyllis M Campbell, Jeanie S Carriere, Pemia J A (Holland) Carroll, Rebecca Clough, Gwendoline V Corbin, Joan M, and Susan W A aged 3 months Cuthill, Anne T Davis, Doris E, and Jacqueline D D aged 3 Derry, Elsie E Desmarais, Elsie Dionne, Margaret J Donaldson, Mary J and Avril Joyce aged 3 Easuni, Vera J (this name has been overwritten.. it was spelt Easvn... can anyone confirm the correct spelling?) Egan, Iris The accompanying document reads: "Draft Repat/70, Amend 2 Canadian Wives Bureau, Civilian Repatriation Scheme Here with alphabetical nominal roll amendment no 2 of Service Dependants for return to Canada on the marginally noted draft. This summary cancels previous one dated 7 December 1946. This is a complete nominal roll; however, should it be necessary to make any further corrections, all concerned will be notified. It was sent from Sackville House, 40 Picadilly, London W1 on 14 September 1946 and signed by Lt Col G L Harrington, Office i/c, Civilian Repatriation Section, Canadian Wives Bureau. " The document contains statistics broken down to show families of Officers, Warrant Officers, Sergeants and Other Ranks. It's then been subdivided as follows: adults, 700 girls or boys under 1 year, 128 boys, 172 girls girls and boys aged 1-5, 102 boys, 92 girls 5-12, 15 boys, 10 girls Over 12, 6 boys and 4 girls. They made a total of 1268 persons. The ship was also carrying a number of girls and children bound for the United States and it is not immediately clear whether they are included in the statistics above. The ship also carried a number of regular civilian passengers. The passenger list is held among the large collection at the Public Record Office in Kew, England in box reference BT27/1600. They are all on public access but the PRO are unable to conduct searches themselves due to the time-consuming nature of such searches. (And because they haven't catalogued them separately so they would have to spend a long time even identifying the reference numbers for each ship before they could begin the search - the only such catalogueing has been done by myself, and sadly the PRO were not interested when I offered my research to them. A pity) Debbie Beavis,
