Thanks to all of you for replying to my post.
Further info on John Farrell :
He was born on 21st December 1890 in Govan Road, Glasgow. He did not have a middle name but was known as 'Johnny'. His parents were John Farrell & Martha Ryan.
He had 3 sisters, Mary ( m Daniel Boyle ), Elizabeth ( M John Dougherty ), and Martha ( m James Canavan ).
His wife did not want to leave Scotland and that is why he went there alone. He returned to Glasgow in late 1923 to try and persuade her to join him in New York but she refused, so he left Glasgow in Jan 1924 and as far as we know he never returned.
As I said previously I haven't been able to trace his whereabouts in America beyond 1930. The name 'John Farrell' doesn't help of course, there are dozens of them on the records !
I have always been curious to know what happened to him.
