Find Ancestors

I am trying to find my Greek grandfather Gerassimos Totolos or either of his two brothers. They were sailors who traded between Montevideo and Cardiff in the early 1900s.

There are quite a lot of travel records for various people named Totolos.
Do you know the birth dates of the brothers?
It would help to know if these are records for the right people or not.

Presumably the Gerasimo below is too young to be the right one.

Ethel has a son born 1933 and reg under both her surnames mmn hill

:-) Thank you all for your help. I know Ethel was my grandmother and married again to Percy Walker. I do not know the names or birthdates of the brothers and so that looks possible that they are Spyros and possibly George although some of the later dates would make them too young...but they may be family names.
