It is not allowed to have more than one thread per topic.

READ the replies about the above record on your OTHER thread.

It is foolish to assume the record relates to your grandmother. There is NO way of knowing the passenger's first name, and you have NO IDEA of your grandmother’s birth year

Read the man's OTHER thread, and add to that if you have anything useful to offer.

Apologies if i over stepped my use of Genes Reunited. What/Where are the rules? I have no idea. it would also help me to know if there are any instructions how to use?
Whist i do get replies on my thread, I have no idea who is replying. Perhaps my expectations are too high

Of course you know who is replying - the names are on the posts. But that is irrelevant - it’s the info which matters

And you do need to take notice of the replies - they are intended to help you. You have made a totally unfounded assumption about the passenger record
