Would anyone know if an unborn child would be listed as an infant on a passenger list? I'm trying to locate the birthplace of a very close family friend who died many decades ago. His mother and his half sister were listed on the passenger list AND it listed an infant 3/4 (but not the sex). I cannot find any trace of our friends birth in the U.S. or Scotland where his mother returned to. His name was John Babchuck. His Mother was Helen (Nellie) Kirk and his Father was Peter Babchuck (Russian). I'm going around in circles and it's so very frustrating. Appreciate any suggestions, comments or help. Many thanks.

The 3/4 'person' is in the column for Female Infants

Many thanks Sandra. Thankfully, I’ve got plenty of information on the family.Having problem trying to locate where their son was born. I’m unsure if infant listed on passenger list is our friend John Babchuck or another child.

The listing on the border crossing in November 1919 was only for a female Annie 4 years and 6 months.
The UK return January 1921 on the last sheet deports from Portland (refused leave to land) shows Annie aged 5 years and the 3/4 (could mean 8 months old) under the column female ???

Unfortunately there are no birth records available in New Hampshire for the time frame you require.

Thank you so much for your help. The infant was a girl! I can’t believe I hadn’t spotted it. How embarrassing. I will edit John’s birth year back to 1921. Helen must have been pregnant when she returned to England. Once again many thanks for your help Sandra.
