My grand father and his brother were born in Scotland they were adopted by Thomas and Mary after 1914.  Mary sailed with the 2 boys back to SydneyMines in November of 1914. I have the ships logs,but not on this device. We always thought they may have been the sons of one of the boys  who stayed it was expensive to make a trip like that on a coal miners pay.

Mary moved to Victoria BC. Sometime in 1914 she returned to Scotland and brought 2 boys back James age 4 and John 8? James is my grandfather. What I have found out is the oldest boy Thomas stayed in Scotland when the rest emigrated  to Canada, he was a professional football player according to my grand father. William  was known as Mac his wife Mary died in Victoria BC they had 2 children Eleanor and I think the boy was David. Hope this helps you.
