Have you search all of the BMD indexes between 1908 an 1914 for every instances of their surname? could help you decrease the time frame by a bit. Ignore me I just re-read your original post i.e no BMD's sorry :-(

Willow, I have searched the name, with no luck. He was natrualized but not until 1939. Thanks for trying! Pat

Heather, No that doesnt help. First child born 1930. He came over as a child. His parents didnt have any more kids after they came here either. Pat

I need some new ideas! I know that my grandfather came to England from South America sometime between 1908 and 1914. He was a gypsy so wont be on an Electoral Role. As far as I know, there were not any BMD's for the family in that period. How can I limit my search years when looking for him on a passenger list coming over here? I know he came in at Liverpool. I have contacted the PRO at Kew and there are approx 250 possible ships in that time frame. Pat
