I am searching for details for William and Florence Cambrey who sailed for canada in 19?? and
returned to the UK due to the depression presumably in the late 1920's.

Does anyone have any ideas how i would go about starting this search?

thank you
Neville..
 
They sailed on the ship METAGAMA in January 1929 and they sailed to St John NB,Canada. Florence was aged 43 and William who was a toolmaker was aged 46. They were living at 1 Newport Rd,Moseley when they left.
They departed from Liverpool.
