Thanks for that Sandra...I question the place of birth though as she was born in Hull...but everything else seems to fit. Thanks for your time.

You're very welcome.

The New York passenger List for 31 October 1947 also says she was born Aberdeen Scotland. Travelling with William Gowdy (Belfast Ireland - Master welder.) and a daughter A who was born in Hull. Nephew Albert H Cooke.
Meadowbank Road Hull. Going to niece Mrs peter Buchan, 926  12 th Street San Pedo California.

Have you got the daughters marriage ? Think the husband's death may be listed on Daily Times Obit Index.

Hi Sandra...That's really interesting...No... I lose her after her marriage in Hull in 1935 where she is listed as living in Meadowbank Road and going to live in Belfast.

I have just photographed Thomas Cape's headstone in Bailleul Road Cemetery in Arras and would love to give his Grandchildren a copy.

Thanks for looking..I have something to go at now.

That's really good info you have found and I really appreciated the time you have both taken..I have found her Daughter's Birth now in Hull...I never thought to look there as the newspaper cutting of her wedding says that she was going to live in Belfast where her Husband was born.
I have a few gaps filled in now and thanks so much
