Passenger lists look up - Soutter family
« on: Sunday 25 July 10 11:55 BST (UK) »
Hi there
Hoping that someone can help me with passenger look ups for the Soutter family as follows:
William Soutter born 1861 (parents James and Clementina) - I am almost certain he went to the US
John Soutter born 1863 (parents James and Clementina) - not sure
Mary Soutter born 1864 (parents James and Clementina) - Disappears from UK records after 1881
Margaret Soutter born 1866 (parents James and Clementina) - not sure
Emily Soutter born 1869 (parents James and Clementina) - Disappears from UK records after 1881
Emma Soutter born 1871 - last known in the UK 1891 (parents James and Emma)
Walter Soutter born 1873 - last known in the UK 1881(parents James and Emma)
Alexander Soutter born 1876 - last known in the UK 1891 (parents James and Emma)

James and Clementina had 3 other children who I know emigrated to the US.  They landed in NY between 1880 - 1882 and then settled in Cook, Illinois.

Many of the Soutter family seem to have vanished from the UK which makes me wonder if they followed their older siblings to the US.  Clementina died in 1870, hence the change in the mother's name to Emma following James's remarriage.

All help is hugely appreciated.

Good grief - how do you do it??!!

Alexander - yob is good but I am not sure why he would have gone to S Africa when other siblings went to the US.  Also a little odd that he would be going to Dundee as family were born in Southwark, London, (although his father James was originally from Dundee).  Anyway, food for thought...
Walter - yes, I suspect you are right.  I had also found this record and I note that Charles Soutter (a brother) was a witness
John - yes, I suspect you are right.  There is a public family tree on Ancestry.co.uk that shows John with wife Rose with correct parents.
Margaret  - yes, I suspect you are right.  Father's occupation of Engineer is right and also I see that Emma Soutter (sister) was a witness
William - hummmm interesting -  The passport application details all match info that I have.  If he left to travel to France and England would there be a record of him returning?
How could I get hold of the photos??

Thanks
Sparkle
