Also I don’t know if you have William’s WW1 Draft Registration card?



Name: William Kitchin

County: Teton

State: Montana

Birth Date: 4 Mar 1877

Race: White FHL Roll Number: 1711446



But on it he says that he is already working for Donald McRea and gives his mother as nearest kin – which to me would suggest that John is no longer living in the US.

Hi Geniegenie



Thanks for the reply. Most of what you say would make sense so I will follow it up.

Hi Geniegenie.



There is a William Kitchen (45 and single) who arrives in New York 4 Aug 1924 on the SS Cedric from Liverpool, who gives the same naturalization details as above.



I cannot find the above sailing, Could you please pm details.
