Thank you ArgyllGran.

If you invert the colours on the 1953 travel record on Ancestry it's much easier to read.

Definitely c/o Krieg, Nurioopta, South Australia.

greyghost, I did take your advise (your post 8th July at 13.14) and I worked Mary Honour Humphreys back. She married a Joseph Humphreys, previously married an Evan Jones, and was born Mary Honour Martin (my family name) this week I ordered all the certificates just to verify it all.

When Bessie originally went to Australia on 18 Dec 1923, she gave her last address as the same address I found for Joseph and Mary Honour Humphreys, which was 1 Park/Parc Cottages. They were there from 1918 to 1928. So thank you for that. Should get the certs next week.

The Kreigs mentioned are the family, Marcus died in 2007, he was Gwyniths husband.

Burials in Nuriootpa shows several Kreigs

Kucinta, funny how the eye works, LOL. it would make sense that it is Krieg, Gywnith Hope Aston (Bessies daughter) married Marcus Gustav Krieg, I will have to investigate that photo further.

greyghost, just looked at the photo, its amazing, thank you.

Thank you greyghost, its sort of the same as the one on Ancestry, I am sure is says Krieg, which is the married name of Bessie's daughter, Gywnith Krieg,( and Bronwyn's sister) and I know they lived in Nuriootpa, in fact the family still do live there.

Just wonder why she didn't go back to her husband. There is someone I can ask.

There's a Krieg Street in Nuriootpa and a picture of a family outside the Krieg family home here -

and Krieg's Brickworks

That sounds about right then, given my appalling transcribing. The typing was very heavily inked.

It's amazing how now you've said what it is, that's exactly what I see going back to the image, Krieg and Nuriootpa

Sorry, not her sister, her daughter.

https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/PassengerListing.aspx

there's a listing here, but the typewriter ribbon must have been full of ink.

When you get the page up, click on the "Digital copy" symbol and wait for the list to appear.

You can see 3rd down is Aston Bessie and a ditto for 4th down then Bronwyn. It shows they were going to Adelaide and gives a c/o address of destination for them both. It's in South Australia. ? Nurioopta (I googled until something possible came up from the bits I could read). About an hour's drive North of Adelaide. Sorry can't read the first word

Yes, I think it could be c/o Krieg, which is the married name of her sister, just odd why she did not return to her husband.

The more you blow it up the more blurred it gets. I know her sister lived in Nuriootpa.

FMP does have the arrival address on the dept of health quarantine dept passenger list but I think it's the same image you have, heavily typed and blurred. C/O E?vies, ?urlootga, South Australia is the nearest I can get.

Oh, that's a pain, thank you ErikaH. for looking. The more I blow it up the more blurred it gets.

FMP has only the departure

I am adding to this thread because my request relates to Bessie Humphreys Aston nee Potter. Previously mentioned in this thread.

She came to the UK in 1951 with her daughter Bronwyn Elizabeth Aston, don't need to know anything more about that, as I have it all.

On 18 Feb 1953 she arrived back in Australia, with Bronwyn.

The transcript on Ancestry reads:
Bessie Aston
in the Fremantle, Western Australia, Passenger lists, 1897-1963

Name; Bessie Aston
Departure place; London, United Kingdom
Arrival date; 18 Feb 1953
Arrival Place; Fremantle, Western Australia
Vessel; Strathmore

My request is; the "image" relating to the above on Ancestry is blurred, I have looked on FMP and cant find it.

Please could you look to see if you can find a clear image for me, maybe on FMP, I am trying to see the address and person they were returning to when they came home to Australia.

On the blurred image it doesn't look like the martial home address, I know her husband Alexander Murray Aston died in 1954, but that was a year later.

Thank you in advance.

I have just found it. Gwynith herself gave me the name years ago, Mary Honour Humphries, and I found her on the 1911 census at Glasfryn,Wynn Hall, Ruabon. So maybe that was the lady who took her in (all the siblings were seperated) and she took her name.

The name Honour Humphries seems to come to mind, will try to find the bit of paper, I have quite a bit to look through.

Yes I do have that, but your version gives more information, thank you for that. Will go and find the Humphries paperwork.

She probably adopted the name Humphries as a sort of thank you. I will have to find the census, or whatever it was I found. I did tell Gwynith, but she said her head was unable to deal with these sort of things any longer so I didn't pursue it, but I will still have the paperwork.
