time were travelling from London to Adelaide, departing on in 1955.
The twelfth journey in this series involved Jean M Soothill and Kathleen C Soothill, who were travelling from Southampton to Fremantle, departing in 1956 Kathleen (1905-1984) is the wife of Herbert William (1900-?) who is the son of Walter and Laura Soothill. Jean F. is less easy to place. There is a Jean F Soothill on the database but she was born in 1921, rather than 1934 as the Passenger List suggests. Kathleen and Jean are not related but Kathleen’s husband is Jean’s first cousin once removed. There are other Jeans on the database. For example, Jean Soothill – the daughter of Harry and Elizabeth Soothill – was born in 1936, but possible links with Kathleen are less persuasive.
The thirteenth journey is by W Soothill (who is a male born around 1938) who was travelling from Tilbury to Adelaide, departing in 1956. This person has not yet been identified.
The fourteenth journey is by another Violet – this time Violet (1922-?), the wife of William Soothill (1918-1975) who is travelling from London to Melbourne, departing in 1957. Violet is accompanied by her daughter, Margaret Jean Soothill (b.1942) and her son, William Graham Soothill (1944-1991).13
