Deportation from USA 1920

[Ashtone]

Found : widow and child detained, at back of all entries, LPC and some squiggles. But only for about 2 days then released.

Well done for that suggestion.

Glad you found them. Always good to check the end of manifest pages for deportation/refused entry lists.

Have you checked the preceding pages for the 1920 Passenger Arrival list (Southampton)? In the image you provided, I'm curious to know what the "do" + "do" columns represented.

I'm wondering if the brother-in-law decided to return to England (with the widow and children). But his name was (incorrectly) included in the "Deported" list with theirs.

With the surname Eacher, most of the newspaper hits are for Teacher.

For future reference.
You might have tried this already. It works on Google, sometimes, but I don't know if it will work on a newspaper site:
Search for Eacher -teacher

'Do' - Port of Embarkation (New York), Port Landed (Soton), Class of Travel (3rd)

Putting - gets rid of about half of them, which still leaves an awful lot of false hits.

I did wonder if he (brother-in-law) had gone voluntarily, but without records who can tell.

'Do' - Port of Embarkation (New York)

That's interesting, considering the brother-in-law was living in Pittsburgh in 1920. Perhaps the widow was staying in New York when she was classed as LPC.

I do recall a a family story that a couple and their two young children, after hoping to build a new life in Canada, were sent back, or deported, when it became evident that the father had severe tuberculosis. Would that be a practical reason? Certainty, in later family photos and events he seemed always to have been invalid.

Yes, I think that would have been a valid reason.  Depends if Canada had similar deportation rules, and when it happened.
