Andrew, thank you again, is there any sign of his wife please?
Can I ask if anyone would have any idea why he made so many trips to and fro from Canada?

Sandra

Sandra Report 7 Dec 2010 12:13

Oops, sorry, I just noticed it was New York.

Andrew

Andrew Report 7 Dec 2010 12:23

There are many trips for Annie Park/McGeachie, but I can't tell which ones are yours, so haven't posted them.

Have posted New York details as name is unusual and could well be your Dugald.

Who is this one then?
On the original he had put for next-of-kin brother James Lyon, Liverpool. It was scratched out and changed to wife Mrs. Lyon, 18 Murdi(something?) St., Rockcliffe, Greenock, Scotland.
