Sorry Lorraine just found your reply.

Could it be the right ship but another John?? lol
As far as i know the family were from Dundee, on the arrival it says Lenzie.
He was a tool maker which is Mechanical.The one you found is Electrical.
Picking nits here lol

I dont know how your searches work etc but if you have time can you see if there is any sign of a Kathleen R Turnbull in Chicago/Cook.
The address on John death cert is....3405 Pulaski rd Cook chicago.
It also says he was a tool maker for what looks like Merciod Corps.

Theres an address below Kathleens name it look like 3405 N Cranfords.
As I said I dont know how your seaches work but thought it might help.

Thanks again
Marion

Hi Lorraine, Have seen your kind offer. Possibly using this as a last resort. Looking for Sidney Featherstone B1890 Chartham Hatch Kent England (district Bridge) Parents William Featherstone and Charlotte Ellen (Known as Ellen)
Sidney appears on 1891 census and 1901. But nothing on 1911 census,although against his mothers details it does say 5 living children (He was one of the 5). Have checked as many options that I could find ie Deaths, WW1 deaths Marriages etc. It looks like he just disappears. I wonder if he left the country. I posted a message on Tips to see if I was missing anything obvious, got back some great messages but nothing for my Sidney. Long shot but if you could check USA & Canada (not Sidney W Maidstone, Kent already discounted him for Canada) I would be very grateful.
Regards
Mandy

Thank you Lorraine for your offer.
My Fathers brother John Hooke 1908 Belfast departed for Canada 3 times
1st Liverpoole to Quebec 12/6/1924
2nd Plymouth to Halifax 19/5/1951
3rd Liverpoole to Montreal 13/5/1952
His last address in Ireland was 39' Woodvale St. Belfast
I am looking for a marriage to Pricilla ?? and when he died which could have been 20 to 30 years ago
At some stage I think he lived in Toronto.
There was talk that he had been married before but I don't know whether it would have been in England or Ireland but it didn't work out.
Sorry this is all the info I have.
Regards Beryl
