passport numbers

[philbrawn]

Hi can anyone tell me if you can find details of a person using their passport number.We think an ancestor took ship to new york in 1911 but can not find birth record for him,so wondered if we can use the passport number on the passenger list to find any details. Regards Phil

hi Phil

welcome

to the forum

I have not come across this method of identifying people but that doesn't mean you can't.

Can you give some details so we can have a look on Passenger lists

Hi found an entry on Ancestry under new york passenger lists for William Bassett arriving in new york on 11 july 1919.It shows his residence as Northfleet and as this is the place where my wifes great grand parents lived and died i thought that william could be a relative but can not find him in birth records.Regards Phil
