I am trying to trace Robert SOMERVILLE who married Jean KIRKLAND in Glasgow in about 1940.

Jean's parents Andrew and Annie KIRKLAND moved to Australia in about 1920 they lived there for about 15 years before returning to Glasgow. I am not sure if Jean was born in Glasgow or Australia.

Jean and Robert SOMERVILLE had 3 children Robert, Ann and Andrew - they are part of the Brethren too. I am not sure if the children were born in Scotland or Australia.

I know that Ian Somerville one of the children, of either Robert or Andrew, still lives in Melbourne, Victoria.

If any body has any more information or knows how I can access ship passenger lists for this time that would be extremely helpful,

many thanks Julie (nee Kirkland)
