Please could someone do a look up for me, search criteria below - returns an Ethel Cartwright travelling to Halifax in 1903. I believe she is travelling with her son George P Cartwright born 1900. She may show as being married but travelling without her husband (Wallace Abraham).

Many thanks
Debra

Apologises Wallace's mother's maiden name was Cartwright (sorry found it in the early hours of this morning)

Birth cert shows Eliza Abraham formerly Cartwright

Looks like the family may have been Jewish and hence a reason to change their name due to the Jewish persecution at the time.
