Victor McCAFFREY Donkeyman aged 36 came back to Liverpool about 12th August 1953 as a Passenger boarding the Elder Dempster Line Ltd “M V Deido official No 160373” in Dakar as a DBS he is shown as Ex “SS Regent Tiger”
his proposed address given as 18 Manor Street. Clapham. London.
I presume that the information that you have was taken from the ships manifest
His crew agreement would be with the “SS Regent Tiger” Official Number: 180979. owners C T Bowring & Co Ltd
