Passenger List

The passenger list, or manifest, of those brides that left from Sydney was signed-off on 3 July 1946.

The list of 615 women includes their names and ages. They are all entered as 'Housewife' under "Profession, Occupation or Calling", and their "Race" is classed as 'British'.

The war bride passengers are listed on the following pages by their surnames, with their ages included in brackets.

A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z
