but is it the right person? the original poster, Lombard, hasn't said yet.
that was just one of the men I found.
There was another Wm Shipley arriving from Havana in 1905. It could be him too.

Hi RJ137,
Many thanks for the information.
That is the information I have been looking for.
My family thought it was a old wives tale that they had relatives in the USA?
