Good evening,
Hugh Wiliam Hubert Robertson emigrated to the U.S. On the Carpathia. Are you a relative?
Yes I am a relative....if our HWH Robertson is the same man. My HWH's father was the oldest son (of 8 boys) and my grandfather was the youngest. In my family Hugh William Hubert Robertson was born in 1885 in Jarrow UK to Hugh Robertson and Sarah Ann Rowland. He sailed on the Carpathia on 26 July 1904 to New York and met his uncle (William Robertson) at the Hotel Roland, 59th Street. Uncle William had already emigrated and settled in Massachusetts.
I have a copy of HWH Robertson's US Draft Registration Card for WW1. Also a copy of the ship's manifest for the Olympic where he arrived at Southampton UK 1923 to visit his dying father. He returned to New York a month later (on the Olympic) - residence given as Oakland USA. He was married and wife lived on Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, Mass. It states his intention was to join wife in Boston and thence leave for California. From this date I have no reliable info. I have looked at US censuses but cannot be sure of identifying him accurately.
Are you a relative? If you are, and would rather exchange info by the private messaging service on Rootschat that's fine with me. Messageboard is fine too.
