Thread: help with passenger ships from england to america early 1900's

Harry Halliday emigrated to America ,to live in Connecticut before WW1 about 1812/13 I'd guess I'd love to know exactly when. He lived in Yorkshire and would have been about 22 years old I guess

he also had some cousins who had moved there and may very well have been on same ship because they visited England
cousins may have been surname Richardson Halliday Wheatley or other one may have been Ernest ???? they too would have gone from Yorkshire maybe sailed from Liverpool
can anyone help please ?
thanks

Have you tried www.theshipslist.com it may help

Hi Stellier

A Harry Halliday who was born 1 May 1894 in Leeds, Yorkshire died 13 Oct 1974 in Connecticut. He emigrates via New York to BridgeportConn. on 13 June 1914 and marries an Emaline May Hayward. Does this sound like your guy – if so will post further details.

Sounds like the right person.If you can help I'd be grateful thanks for quick reply

Hi Stellier

Great - so the details from the passenger list for Harry’s journey

Name: Harry Halliday
Arrival Date: 13 Jun 1914
Birth Year: abt 1894
Birth Location: England
Birth Location Other: Leeds
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/Race-/Nationality: English
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Port of Arrival: New York
Ship Name: Cedric

He gives his occupation as a spinner and gives his mother’s details as Mary J Halliday, 9 Snowden Terrace, Gu*rley?. His final destination is Bridgeport, Connecticut to join his uncle Mr J Wigglesworth, 438 E Maine St., Bridgeport.

Further research suggests that this uncle could be a James William Wigglesworth who marries a Janet Naylor 1896 in Bradford. They have children William Henry and Elizabeth before emigrating to Connecticut in 1908.

that is fantastic help thank you I vaguely knew there were cousins already there but not the name
thanks
