Ginny, thank you. Looks like she was a live in servant, thank goodness we cleared that one up, I was dreading her being another rellie. lol

Erin, I knew you wouldn't resist. lol. Thank you.

I have Peter (father) occupation as a Blacksmith, on yours it says "Smith Journeyman" what does that mean?

Smith could have been anything like a Blacksmith or Silversmith etc....Journeyman means he was a tradesman

Ginny, thank you again.

From page 2 - " The 1910 census says Year of immigration: 1880 but the passenger list says Finlay arrived in 1906 also his daughter Catherine left New York to go to Glasgow in 1899. I'm confused with these dates."

Does this mean it's 2 different Finlays? (Sorry to be so thick)

This looks like Catherine and husband Colin leaving Scotland and the immigration year ties in with the census

Ginny, thank you very much.

I cant find any other ships records for Finlay at all.

I would guess that there are NOT 2 Finlays in the US as only one matching your man shows up and he is also in Scotland in 1901 according to the census

So maybe the census immigration year is incorrect?
