Not just you, Dee. At least you have the patience to sit & wait while your message loads and not click numerous times. It's driving me crazy!

Hi MM,

Oh good you found him..... I stopped when I got to the first Wiiliam, next time I think I better check the full page.

I thought it was my PC on a go slow, thinking to myself "oh 'eck, what's the problem now!!" But it seems it's not just me and my PC.

Sorry, the deletions are mine. There's something wrong with the site and it's taking ages to post a message so I clicked 3 times and posted 3 messages of each.
The William Foster that you want was going to Cleveland Ohio to join brother-in-law Thos. Jones, 1947 W. 54th. St., Cleveland.

Uh oh! There's 2 William Fosters on the ship. The other one was married from Liverpool. Wife Mabel Foster, 31 Warwick St., Liverpool.He's heading to Cleveland, Ohio.

Curious! The one that Dee posted is also on the Ellis Island site but he's from Ireland and his mother is Margaret Foster, Ballycraig, Antrim Co. It's the same one, arriving July 3, 1923 aboard the Franconia.

Can anyone help me please. I'm trying to find William Foster who emigrated to America, possibly 1926. He had a wife,, Mabel and children Mabel and Joseph, aged approx 2 and 4. I think I found the children on ship Leviathan, but can't find any trace of parents on ship or Ellis Island. Help please as I am at a total loss.

Thankyou
