All family members have died in Florida. Cannot seem to get anywhere on FamilySearch!!! One Herbert Thomas b1899 and died after 1982 of special interest. I know his daughter d 2013.

	Where was Herbert born, please? And what were other family members' names? I suppose you mean that Herbert was one of the parents - given his age at WW2.
	Researching: Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Did Herbert have any other initials? What was the name of Herbert's wife - with any initials (you say parents travelled)? Although they might not have travelled at the same time.... What was Herbert's occupation prior to departure? Where were they living prior to departure?
