Comment

My grandparents - Piper John Kidd (Gordon Highlanders) & wife Jeannie F B Kidd with five children aged 11-3 years left Cupar Scotland and travelled on the Wilcannia arriving eventually in Melbourne Australia 1911. From what port did this 'cargo' ship leave. A passenger list would be most beneficial.

I have an autograph book that was awarded to one of my relatives during the voyage of the S.S Wilcannia as a prize for the Skipping Competition. The book contains the thoughts of fellow passengers that were collected throughout the voyage to Australia and also has the autographs of many of the ship’s officers.
