Thank you so much, Margot on the passenger list is my mother, her mother Obdulia, her brothers and sister. They were repatriating home to Gibraltar after WWII
I have been looking online regarding the Duke of Wellington and was aware of the information you provided, thank you.
kind regards

Have you seen the birth certificates for your mother and her siblings? The reason for asking was I wondered whether any of them included your grandfather's service number. It was just a sudden thought that came into my mind this morning because if you had his service number it might help persuade the Mod to release his records to you.

I will see if I can find my mother's birth certificate, her only sibling is Alice.
I didn't think to check so thanks for suggesting this.
Kind regards
