deported 1915 New York to Liverpool
« on: Saturday 14 August 10 09:43 BST (UK) »
 Why would this man be listed as `deported` would he have done something wrong ?
I have him in 1911 at the same address , over the years  he was a cotton worker / overlooker / manager and I am certain I have him dying in Russia in 1916.
At some time about 1897 he had a son born in France.
 An intruiging man.

Hi Wilcoxon: First, since the ship on which Rawdon Wright was deported was the Lusitania, can you decipher and post the date of its arrival in the U.K. and the port at which it docked. To me the date looks like April 1, 1915, a month before its sinking on May 1, 1915. Can't even begin to read the name of the port.

Now to Rawdon Wright:

I found Rawdon Wright arriving in New York on April 24, 1914 from Liverpool aboard the Mauretania. Nothing seems to be amiss on the passenger manifest. He was 44 years old, wife was in Elland on Catherine St., he had $50.00. His destination was Providence, Rhode Island and his contact there was "friend" Tim Rooley(?), no address.

He was not a polygamist nor an anarchist. His mental and physical health were good; he was not deformed or crippled. U.S. immigration law provided for the deportation of persons found to be physically, mentally, or morally defective. That's why questions about political beliefs and behavior were asked.

Judging from the lack of comment by immigration people on the manifest, he must have done something after he arrived in the U.S. to warrant being deported. Do you know what his politics were? Socialists were frowned upon in certain circles, but anarchists were seen at that time as a greater threat in the U.S. The fact that you say he died in Russia in 1916 makes me suspect a political motive behind his deportation. Do you know the circumstances of his death?

Hi Linda: I originally thought the arrival date was June 1, 1915. But unfortunately, the Lusitania was sunk off the coast of Ireland a month earlier, on May 7, 1915. Handwriting on the manifest is a little too cursive. I thought Wilcoxon might have other information about when the Lusitania arrived.

Hi John

You're apparently reading it the American way - I assumed 6th January 1915 (which is the way it has been transcribed)  :D

In 1911
Rawdon 48 is living at 133 Catherine St, he is an `overlooker`
two of his daughters are `Weaver Woolen` and his  youngest son who was born in France in 1897 is a `pattern maker.

In 1901 he is a `W(ool) combing  manager` living in Shipley
Rawdon was born in Cleckheaton, Yorkshire.

In 1901 Timothy Rowley 36, wife Nancy 36 and family are living in Halifax Yorks. He is a wool comber at Machine works, daughters Clara and Ada are worsted spinners. Fred , Minnie and Joseph are too young to work.

 This looks like Rawdons` friend. Perhaps the wool trade took them to America, and it seems the area of Russia where Rawdon died produced cotton. It `s possible he travelled overseas with his trade setting up factories.

I don`t know anything about his religous or political views, but to be deported he must have upset somebody. Wish I could find out.
