MemoHarriet and their three children were scheduled to go to New York on the “Celtic” however their names are crossed out on the arrival sheet which suggests they didn’t make the voyage. This is likely to be correct as Ernest returned to the UK about the time they were due to leave he having been in the USA for about one month. Perhaps the job he was to do in the USA didn’t eventuate.
