Hi
Harold Comery emigrated about 1921. His wife was Agnes and they went on to have 2 sons John and Arthur. They were in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, previously.
Any information once they left England would be appreciated. It is possible they were on the Adriatic which left Southampton and arrived Feb 12 1921, Ellis Island.
I do know they have lived in Oregon.

Hi Jane: Harold Comery was on the Adriatic in February 1921, but no sign of Agnes with him. Nor was there any sign of Agnes (or Harold) in the search results for any other arrival in New York. Agnes might have sailed separately into another port. Or do you think she sailed perhaps under her maiden name?
If you'd like a copy of the manifest--lots of particulars too long to transcribe, send me a personal message with your e-mail address.
I noticed a Wave Comery, also from Nottingham, in the search results, going to Massachusetts. Any connection?
Regards,
John

I have found a Joseph H. Comery in the 1930 census in St. Helen's City, Columbia County, Oregon, 25, born Englandwith wife Agnes, 27 born in Scotland, and two children, 4 8/12, and John, 2, both born in Oregon. It says he and Agnes came in 1923 and he is a tolly man at a saw mill.
I have an Agnes, born 21 Apr 1902, dying in Seattle Washington in March 1986.
Are you looking for any living relatives, too, because I believe there are some.

Hi Kath and John
Kath do you know the name of the older child? I am sorry I misled you both. Their children were not John and Arthur, they were John and Gwen. I think you have found the correct family as I have now found out that Agnes birthday was 21 April but I don't know what year. I have also found out that Harolds initials were J H Comery.
Agnes certainly had been living in Seattle for many years and lived in a mobile home on Pacific Highway South. 1986 is about right for when she died.
Do you know what a tolly man was?
This is really exciting.
Any more information will be fantastic.
Jane

Jane,
Sorry. A typo on my part left out Gweneth's name from my last post. I have no idea what a tolly man is and maybe it was a tally man. It was a little hard to read. Let me know if you want me to PM the living stuff.

I sent you an email with the contact info and some immigration info that could be him. Let me know if you don't get the email and please keep me posted. I'd love to hear if you get in touch with a long-lost.

Thanks for the email. This is getting complicated. Until yesterday I always assumed Harold and Agnes went from England to USA together as a couple. Even if Agnes was born in Scotland they could have arrived in the same year and then met in USA.
Harold was in Wyckoff, BC, with his brother in law Robert H Drew then arrived Eastport, Idaho, March 1923. What mode of transport? I assumed it was a ship until I saw where Eastport is. Train?
how was Robert Drew Harolds brother in law?
Was he Agnes brother?
Was her name Drew?
Was Robert nothing to do with Agnes?
When did Harold arrive in Wyckoff?
At least I am now begining to learn a tiny bit of USA geography!
Thanks for all the help so far.
Jane

Jane,
Maybe you need to work backward, and get Agnes's death certificate. Here's an idea. Go to Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness and see if someone will go to the records office and look it up to get the information off of it. It might have her maiden name. If you can get Harold's too, that might say when he came to this country. It's a shame the living relative you got in touch with doesn't know much. Maybe if you pose specific questions to him he might remember something.
Did you go look at the records yourself. Ancestry immigration is free until November 30. You could possibly see something I missed or interpreted wrong.
Let me know if I can do anything else for you.
Kath

Hi
I did look at the imigration record and I now think the brother in law is Robert H Trew although it clearly says Drew on the paper.
Harolds sister Christina sailed to Canada from England on the SS Canada Friday 13 Feb 1920. (It is written by her on the back of a photo). There is another photo of her children and their surname is Trew. I don't know if Robert Trew met Christina in England or Canada.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Jane
