    3. Hi Linda, I had a look at the passenger list. It said she was 29 years & 6 months, which makes her born about 1886-1887. She is going to her father, Mr. Alex. Parks at Lexington Mass., but it also says she was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada and had been in the US for 20 years ! Sometimes in that spot they'll say was in the US before from xxxx year to xxxx year, or even mention months. North American outbound lists do not survive. British inbound lists do survive, but they are not filmed or even indexed (yet), so it would be quite costly to hire a researcher to check boxes of manifests trying to find her UK arrival. Unfortunately, the place on the first page where you would read who and at what address she was leaving, has been filled with the information for the person below. They crossed through her line(s), repeated the info for the correct person, but didn't write in a correction for her.
