Nettie

why don't you register on the Ellis Island site, it's free to do so

Then you can look up the ship's manifest and see what is written on there


you might see his occupation, where he was intending to go, etc etc.

Can I give this a little nudge please, re their USA marriage?

I can't believe how kind you have all been with this search.

Thank you VERY much.

Continued thanks.

What a revelation.

I wonder why he married such a much older woman???

Is it possible to find their marriage record, please? I'm new to this international side of things, and don't know whether this is a possible.
