Find Ancestors

Not all emigration dates are correct on later census for USA and Canada

I do work for the BHC Canada site on Facebook and often find emigration dates differ from census to census

They do have actual sailing records so we do know the correct one

Could someone please look for the emigration records for Margaret McGrath d.o.b
c 1884 Glasgow .

I've found her on the 1930 and 1940 U.S .census with husband John McCabe and niece Elizabeth Wright and nephew Francis Wright .

She married McCabe 10/9/1912 in new York .So I'm assuming emigrated c 1910 .

Would be interested if she travelled alone and also who she was going to in the U.S

regards
