MemoGustavus E Hart arrived UK from Sydney, Australia on the 10th of December 1947. The ship was the Orion of the Orient Steam Ship Company. Ports called at on the voyage where Melbourne, Fremantle, Colombo and Port Said. This trip took around 37 days so the departure date from Sydney would have been about 3rd of November 1947.
It is likely that Gustavus departed the USA from San Francisco as there was a regular passenger service from there to Auckland and Sydney. He most likely visited New Zealand before coming to Sydney. Shipping records in the National Library should have a record of his arrival in Sydney probably early in 1947.
On arrival in England Gustavus gave his address, whilst in England, as 18 Mill Street, Sidmouth, Devon. As some of family originated in Devon he was probably visiting family.

The in-bound passenger list notes he lives in Los Angeles and travelled with 2 suitcases. It also notes that he was a U.S. citizen and his passport number was 117099 and that he was born in New Zealand.
Why did he go to India? Perhaps some family went there. certainly shiping arrivals in UK in 1890s show Bray families returning to England. Could these be related a possible area of reseach?
