[TSL] Route to the UK from Shanghai
vicki evans <vickievans909@hotmail.com> on 03/17/2010

HI
Can anyone tell me the route likely to of been taken by a ship sailing from 
Shanghai to the UK please between 1881 and 1891.

I am trying to trace my Great grandmother's passage to North Wales.  I know 
she was born in Shanghai, c1873, and she appears on the 1891 census with an 
aunt in Wales.  I can find no trace of her on passenger lists however, so 
am not sure how she arrived.  Would a ship sail direct to the UK from 
Shanghai or would it sail to the US and then would they come from the US to 
the UK?

This is really puzzling me, and something I have been trying to track down 
for a long while.  Her name is Minnie Nelson, I know her father was Andrew 
Nelson but I dont know what nationality he was and he is not on the 1891 
census with her. The aunt she is with in 1891, was married to a master 
mariner Captain William Thomas, but I am unsure if he was still 
sailing.  If she came across to the UK from Shanghai as a guest of the 
Captain, would she of been on the ships manifest?

I hope someone can help, like I say I have had no luck finding her on 
passenger lists.

Many thanks

Vicki
