good morning

I am looking for information on immigrantion/emigration of the Moss Family from Pemberton wigan Lancashire.

They went to Canada in 1928 and returned in 1932

On the return manifest the family are listed under "deports "

Does this mean they were deported and it wasn't their decision to come back to England

Robert Moss 39
Margaret Moss 35
Nellie Moss 4
Colin Moss 9

Thank You

Carter

So they may have come back to the uk as they had expired visas

There are others listed as deports with them

When they arrived back in England, Margaret was 8 months pregnant. That mist have been a nightmare voyage for her.

I knew robert moss had a brother thomas moss who emigrated to Canada and married but died in 1920
