Hi Linda, Thank you so much, that is wonderful news, especially the address and occupation, extremely interesting. Very much appreciated. Regards, Elizabeth

Good Morning Linda! I wonder if you could help me. I have been looking in 1919 for: Charles Crawford, a packing box maker Davidina his wife Eveline their daughter who was born in 1901 and I believe they had a son Frederick who was born in 1904. I know that Davidina died in 1977 in Boston,MA, But after talking to an older uncle I think they left before 1910 and possibly in 1907/08. I am not sure that they took any other children with them and I don't know if Davidina went alone after Charles sailed. I believe they sailed from Scotland, probably Glasgow as they lived in Aberdeen. Davidina was born in 1880 so she would have been 28 at least (although she might not have told them that!) Do you know if they needed passports then? I would be really grateful if you could give me any more info as I think another sister might have followed her later but I have no more proof of that at all. This could be the lead I have been searching for!! Many thanks Abigail

Hi Abigail Here is Davidina says Fred is 4 and Emily is 3 (prob a mistranscription) or could Eveline have died and they had another child? Off to try and find Charles now, what was his date of birth??
