ErikaH, if you see this I have a query please.
On the post re Michael Reily travelling from New York on 23 Dec 1952, I notice all the entries are for children.
Obviously the children aren’t all travelling by themselves, are the adults listed on separate pages?
Thanks.

His wife and child are on the ER for 2002 - no record of Michael, and I can't see a death, so I think caution is needed

Michael was travelling with Florence in 1959 after all - but listed on a different page, for some reason. [ EDIT: because of being an alien passenger ]
Going to 36 Overleigh Road.

My goodness ErikaH.
Yes I had seen several of those records but didn’t want to accept them until I was certain.
The hint actually came up on Martha’s feed, with the words about children that made me think the parents had gone to USA.
But it all makes sense now.
Last night I found a Passenger list Germany to USA, I will try to find it again. Florence was travelling with a child.
I think her hubby might have been in the army based in Frankfurt, but I must back up my recollection.
Thank you so much for everything.

Thank you ArgyllGran.
Interesting.
I will check these through later tonight, I did find two members of the family that looked like they went to USA.
Thanks so much for your help.
Florence married a Texan I think, but I will go back to look again later. I was doing it late last night.
