Hi Lorraine

Could you check US outbound/UK inbound from US (New York) for

Gallant, Jacob aka Jack aka John b 1874c UK - sorry he went by the three first names.

Went to US (New York) in 1912? and was supposedly deported 1912/1913.

Would deportation records be different or would he just show on a passenger listing?

Many thanks

Carol

I am about to leave for work but will check back this evening if you have any further questions.

Hi Lorraine
Could you possibly look up the details of a Canada to US border crossing by the following relatives: Peter Christian, his wife Flora and their children - Alberta/Agnes, Henry Aldworth and Stewart. Also Peter's brother, Alfred Emmanuel Christian his wife Lily and possibly their sons John Dennis and Reginald Aldworth. I am not certain of the dates, although I think that Peter's family were still in Canada at the time of the 1911 census, although I have no details on that.

Thanking you in anticipation and amazement at the fantastic work you are prepared to do. Carol

Hello Lorraine,
Thank you for your offer.
Could you please see if you can find anything in US records about a
Charles Gaffney, born Cavan, Ireland, 4/3/1877 and who is listed at
Ellis Island as sailing from Queenstown,Ireland on 30/10/1907 on the
SS Campania. It says that he was returning to the US, having lived there
for 9 years. His address was given as 300 W 48 St.,New York.
I would be grateful for any information you could find.
Many thanks,
Vinny
