Peter . Thanks for your work. You have done a wonderful job with your site. I found some Davey's in Northumberland who may belong to me. Owen Davey in Canada. Your lead to Dr. Moore's Ellis island site LED ME TO MY DAD. He apparently cleared customs in NYC as an landed immigrant. Sailed on the White Star SS Celtic, from Liverpool, landing in NYC on 26 April 1921. I had always thought he went out as crew but the documentation shows that he was processed as an immigrant. Supports an oral story in my family that he did go to the US but could not get my mother out. He stayed for a while then went back to the UK. A quite different sequel ensued. He was caught by the Great Depression in the UK, then WWII, only to come top Canada in 1953. We sailed from Liverpool on the CP line Empress of Scotland. ironically that was almost 32 yrs to the day that he first left the UK. Konwing my Dad he was well aware of the quasi anniversary. Our home was in Morecame, Lancs, not far from you. Regards.
