Not finding 'Bachron Lane', is it possible someone can post a snip please, in case it's a misheard interpretation of somewhere similar?

It looks like ms Mary Cushnahan,  I wonder if she was an adopted sister of Jeanie Mcfall.
Doubtful 'Ms' would have been in use at the time. I read it as 'Mrs'

It certainly reads as 'Bachron', but I wondered about the former Buchanan Lane as a possibility. No number 8 that I could see, but there was a resident at number 1 in 1920 and 1925 VR, by name of Colin MacPhail....could well be red herring though.

So yes it looks like Monica got it right.

William remarried annie blaney and she died qn 1932. Still no death for William Mcfall.

I also was thinking that her address on the manifest might be "8 backrow lane" but that's just a theory.

If you do confirm that it is the correct William McFall, you also have Annie Blaney McFall's death in 1932, aged 59, in Port Glasgow. A quick check on that will let you know whether husband William was still alive.

At least it will give you a window of search.

I had a similar thought, unfortunately that's not him.

8 Backrow Lane, Port Glasgow has various surnames listed against it in VRs. Worth a look to see if you recognise any. No obvious McFall though.
