Looks like Mary Macallister (widow) lived there for quite a while.

In 1921 it says proprietors are "trustees of Roman catholic church"
Jeanie was also Roman catholic which makes sense but i don't know why she would be living here.

Throughout the passenger list, there were many from "Pt. Glasgow", and many from "Glasgow".
Jean's was "Glasgow". 
This snip shows a few extra people to include a "Pt Glasgow" person, to show they were differentiating.

In the 1920s many Scots emigrated to Canada from all over.

My g g/mother & 9 or 10 of her 11 kids as well as my 2 uncles & my aunt with many more relations all left between 1920 & 1924.

They were all promised jobs on arrival as well as having accommodation when they arrived.

Age slightly out on this but adding just in case...

MCFAULL WILLIAM 49
1919 - 644/15 695 Hutchesontown

And a last possible longshot although in Renfrew which would be prior to Annie's death...

FAULDS WILLIAM 58
1929 - 567/2 144 Gourock

Was William deceased or alive on Annie's death?

What was his occupation, could it have taken him elsewhere?

William remarried annie blaney and she died qn 1932. Still no death for William Mcfall.


Did you have a look at the image of the death? Was William still alive when Annie Blaney died in 1932?

Yeah it looks like Jean Mcfall was part of that scheme in the early 20s to get people out of the uk and working.

The reason I'm looking at port Glasgow and not Glasgow is because of the arrival form where she says she was born there and put Mary Cushnahan (sister) down as her closest relative.  I found Jean's birth certificate in 1904 under Jane Mcfall and it's the exact same day and month of my Jean.

William Mcfall was still alive in 1932 when his second wife died.  He was a Carter in all thr birth, death, and marriage certificates I've seen. 

Though I don't understand why Jean wouldn't say her father was her nearest relative in 1923.

Even now I am inclined to pick different family members depending on the situation.

Perhaps her sister could read and write but her father couldn’t.  Going to Canada, you would want the Next of Kin to be able to cope with receiving a letter

Or perhaps her sister had a more secure address.
