Shipping passenger list - Liverpool to Canada 1932 shows Raymond A Kirkwood (age 2) with his 4 siblings and parents Alexander Kirkwood (32, detective) and Elsie May (29)
Their last address was 41 High Park Street, Liverpool

[Neale1961]

The 1931 Canada census gives England as the birth place for Raymond and some other members of the Kirkwood family, although the father Alexander records his father born in Scotland.
