Once again, it was only after a quick look, but I didn't see Donald in New York on the census, WWI records or immigration.  I did not look thoroughly for him.

I was also hoping to find Donald and Jerry/Gerry together.

Did he have any middle names?  Perhaps he dropped Jerry and used a middle name?  Do you have his exact birthdate, please?

I checked U.S. census for 1910 and 1920 for a male born in 1880 (+ or - 5 years) in Scotland, immigrated 1904 (+ or - 2 years) with a name similar to Jerry Mackay, including J Mackay (and McKay).  I also checked the 1930 returns, but had to omit immigration date, so I wasn't as thorough.  I cannot find him, but that doesn't mean he isn't there somewhere.

I was just taking a quick look at your post, while I was waiting for a ride home.

I see his immigration record.  However, it shows final destination as N. Falls.  I wonder if he was just visiting the area, only to return to Canada?

I can look further later tonight.

Surrey Lookup Requests / Re: VAUS Benjamin Thomas

I just joined RootsChat.  I have been a member of another genealogy site for a number of years; we may have been in touch on that site?

I do not know of a connection between the London Vaus' and "mine."  My ancestor did live in London around 1857, but I believe he only lived there for a short time.

Hi Foxy:

The California Birth Index for Kathleen McQuire, with the mother's maiden name Pomeroy, does not show the birthdate you listed.  I can send the birthdate privately, if you like?  This Kathleen was born in San Francisco County.

If the Birth Index is correct, I don't believe Kathleen has passed away in California.  I did a search, only using her first name and her exact birthdate.  There were no hits for that combination.

It's always good to have exact information, so in case your Kathleen did actually pass away in 1999, it was probably San Bernardino, which is in Southern California.

James may have been visiting Mexico.  It isn't uncommon for Californians to visit Mexico.  Could he also have been there, work related?

I found Kathleen's birth.  She is listed under McQuire.  It gives her exact birthdate.
-----------
I found this, while trying to find information about Kathleen:
"We found Edgar and Mattie with son Gordon living in Alameda..."
If that is your information, may I clarify, please?  There is a city called Alameda, but there is also a county with the same name.  Edgar and Mattie were actually living in Oakland, in the County of Alameda.  Hope this helps. :)
