Hi Sandra,

Thanks for all your help.  I have made a bit of a discovery and was hoping you could help me with it.

Mary McKernan born 7th May 1877 is showning up in the 13th June 1900 census she immigrated in America 4 years prior in 1896 so I am hoping that you can help me get a ships entry for her.  However, her surname was spelt as McKernin.  She is also listed with her cousins the Gardince.  William, Ann C etc Can you find anything on this couple was Ann orginally called McKernan or O'Neill?

I would be very grateful of any help you can give me with this

Don't see William J Gardiner in 1920 but would this be him in New York City Deaths ? Age is correct ?

The WW1 Draft for George Gardiner born 28 April 1895. Single. Occupation Shoe Buyer. Gives his Mother as person who will always know him and is dated June 5th 1917.  So that could perhaps be an indication the death above is William ? Address iwas given as:- 1249 E 34 Street.
