Passenger Lists - Soutter
« on: Saturday 24 July 10 19:48 BST (UK) »
Hi, hoping that someone can help me.

I am looking for the passenger list details of 2 brothers:  James and Robert Soutter, born in London who travelled to the US and settled in Chicago, Illinois sometime around 1875 - 1895.  Any ideas of where I can find potential passenger lists would be great.  I don't know what port they sailed from or to but I don't know where to start my seach.

Many thanks
Sparkle

Hi Sparkle

I can see what appears to be Robert listed in the 1910 US Federal Census, living in Chicago with wife Jennie and children.

This Robert (if it's the same man) entered the US in 1880.

It also records that he was 49 years old (in 1910), that his father was Scottish and that his mother was English. Does this sound about right?

Sparkle, there is a listing for a Mr and Mrs James Soutter travelling from Glasgow to New York in July 1900 on the State of Nebraska.
They are both listed as 40, he is a draper, and they have their children with them - Mabel, James, Herbert, Maud and Eva
Doesn't sound as if they are yours but they are the only Soutters I can see - the lists I'm looking at only start in 1890.
Sorry

p.s. oops!   Just crossed with Dave who has the correct couple, so ignore mine

Thank you so much to you all.  The info from Dave exactly matches so I am sure this is right.  Another mystery resolved!
