Hi DollyBrush

WELCOME TO ROOTSCHAT!

A question or 2 before we start.

What do you know about his family (before he left)
How do you know he left in 1910
Have you posted queries anywhere else?

If you want to post again (2x) (you only need to say hello) then Rootschatters will be able to contact you via the messaging system (pm), IF NECESSARY.

Do not forget to tell people information shared that way . . . . .

This will ALL definitely save duplication of effort by Rootschatters NOT having to repeat research where you already have the detail.

There is this person on a passenger list, no further information. What was your grandfather's occupation and was he married at the time? This one was single.

WILLIAM ARMSTRONG
Age   35
Birth    1875
Single
Labourer
9th April 1910
Departure port   Londonderry
Destination port   Halifax, Canada
Ship name   NUMIDIAN

What was the date on the letter? Obviously if it was after 9th April we can rule this one out.
