Kim Cattrall - Looking For A Man Without A Face

Ok so tonight's episode of WDYTYA was more of a human interest story than it was about genealogy and yet I still found it interesting.  Sometimes we find when researching our roots that these types of deviation from genealogy do happen.
I found it interesting that no one mentioned the Australia Archives Records Search to look up his passenger list info and so I decided to have a look and this is what I found.

  When you click on the Reason for restriction links above it gives some very enlightening info -

Sounds to me that perhaps he didn't keep this information totally secret as we previously were led to believe on the show.
