JAMES MERRY MCGREGGOR
« on: Tuesday 17 November 09 01:11 GMT (UK) »
About 1930 the above James, born 18th Oct.1898 in Grulin, Mull, Scotland "disappeared". His father was Peter and his mother was Margaret Merry.
James' name appears on the New York Shipping Register 1820.1957.
Is it possible someone could please fill in the details for me?
Thank you,
Mavis

James Merry McGreggor, born 18-10-1898, Salen Mull, Scotland. Arrived New York on 6 July 1919 on board the Chicago City.

His residence was Aires Hotel, Port Appin.

Apparently he was part of the ship's crew.

Will look for additional information about James.

I don't see any other James Merry's.  There are quite a few entries for James MacGregor and other spellings, born c1898.

Here is one:
James Mac Gregor, born c1897, Scottish, sailed on the Laconia, arriving New York 20 December 1932.  Sailed from Liverpool.  Length of service at sea: 10 years.  5'8", 145 (weight).
Ellison: Co. Wicklow/Canada       Fowley: Sligo/Canada       Furnival: Lancashire/Canada       Ibbotson: Sheffield/Canada       Lee/DeJongh: Lancashire & Cheshire       Mumford: Essex/Canada       Ovens: Ireland/Canada       Sarge: Yorkshire/Canada             Stuart: Sligo/Canada       Sullivan: Co. Clare/Canada      Vaus: Sussex/Surrey      Wakefield: Tuam or Ballinasloe, Ireland              (Surname: Originated/Place Last Lived)  (Canadians lived in Ontario)
