Hi

I don't know if anyone can help i am truly stuck I am looking for a Archiebald McCrea he was born in Ireland probably around Enniskillen Co. Fermanagh between 1863 and 1885.  He moved to Glasgow between 1900 and 1930 he was the black sheep of the family and was a alcoholic and lived rough for a while in Glasgow the salvation army helped him sober up and i know he then emmigrated to the U.S.   

He is a nightmare as no one can find his birth and i have tried looking for him on the U.S census and passenger lists but have had no luck but i don't know if i was searching right.   The whole family were embarrassed of him and he was not to be spoke of  he is not on the irish 1911 census so i am guessing he was in scotland before then i was starting to think he was made up until i got in contact with a second cousin who had also heard of him and had started to also think he was made up till she met me she wrote to a elderly aunt who remembers meeting him once she can't remember if it was in Ireland or Glasgow she said her father his brother spoke to him for a few minutes so i know he exists.

I can't find him over here so my hope is he is somewhere recorded in the U.S If anyone can help it would be great but i feel he is a lost cause

Thanks Louise 

Hi

Please help i am completely stuck.  I am looking for an Archibald McCrea he was born in Ireland about 1869 to 1880 and from family stories he moved to the states in the 1920's or 30's.   He is a complete mystery to me and i had given up on him as i thought he did not exist but have recently came into some second cousins who have also been looking for him as they also have been told stories about him but we can't find anything.

Any help would be briliant
Thanks Louise
