    Thinking that if you can get the Crew list for that period and see if your Man was on her??
    For 1936 you won't find crew listings for DUNDRUM CASTLE at that link as they are not held at Kew.
    You will find one for 1936 at the address below so give them an email first and ask. The CA will hopefully give an address and next of kin.

    Thanks Keith,
    I missed the link in the original post but yes I am aware of this material. In fact it was my cousin's attempt (10 years ago) to find the same information about Ronald Larry Lane. There was very little of substance that surfaced in this attempt but as has been shown on this website people are very generous in their attempts to help. I am hoping that tackling the search from a mariner records viewpoint will source different data than that available through ancestry sites. I now have been given an array of sites containing mariner records that I am starting to work my way through.
    Appreciate your help.
    Greg

    thanks for your suggestion Vernon,
    The Maritime History Archive (as above) does not have official logs for the year 1920-1936, which is the timing I am predominantly interested in. I am in contact with the Maritime History Archive in the Uni of Newfoundland who has most of the years that I am interested in & I am currently working with them to determine which info to access.
    cheers,
    Greg

    Many thanks to all who have given helpful information about how to find the ship movements of Ronald Larry Lane.

    I have just downloaded the engagement agreement of the Dundrum Castle from the MHA of the University of Newfoundland & I am pretty sure that it is the same person who left my Aunt high & dry in 1935. The corroborating evidence all matches up (age, birth place, last ship) & it gives us new evidence about his identity (R H L Lane), residence (London) & where he left the ship (Durbin, South Africa) due to an injury.

    I now need to follow these clues to see if there is any further information about him.

    Once again thanks to all who helped.

    Greg
