I am looking for information regarding a relative of mine, Stephen Pittman (born 1879) who travelled to the USA in 1918 aboard the ORONTES with his friend James Bradley. I think he lived initially in New York.
He was the son of John Joseph Pittman and Marian Swordes and he had 5 siblings: Mary. Elizabeth, Gertrude, John and Esther. Esther married Patrick Greene, my great-great-grandfather.
I would be grateful for any information about any of these relatives.
