Elder Dempster Passenger Information

We have received the following request from a visitor to the website:

"Hello

I’m looking to trace the date my grandfather Francis Obiakpani travelled from Liverpool to Lagos in 1956. He Travelled on the Elder Dempster Liner Accra.

Do you know where I might find this information.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Michelle"

If anyone can help with this, please contact Michelle directly at michelle.mchale60@gmail.com and leave a note on this forum. Alternatively, get in touch with me and I will pass the information to her.

Ted, I have been in touch with Michelle via email.

I have supplied her with information confirming her grandfather's voyage on the Accra departing Liverpool on 23 Auguat 1956 (one of 9 round trips the Accra made that year).

I have also supplied her with details of three further voyages he made between Liverpool and Lagos on Elder Dempster lines between 1948 and 1960.

I may be wrong but I suspect any subsequent trips to the UK he may have made would have been on BOAC.
