Where's Wally?

[Jill on the A272]

Walter Edward Crisp b 30 Jan 1959 at Mile End, Stepney, Middlesex, a Leather Merchant or Leather Factor is missing on the 1891 and 1901 censuses.

I have an incoming passenger entry for him from New York to Glasgow in 1908could someone take a look to see if he appears in any US records please?

(I've found him in 1911 holidaying in Swanage with a lady who he claims he has been married to for 15 years, but he didn't marry her until 1921!)

If you want the image let me know. It seems to say he is a merchant, single and a non-immigrant alien. He has paid the fare himself and has over 50 dollars with him. Its a bit squashed at the end but appears to say reason for going to USA is "travelling, brother Lowst (?) Valley, Long Island.

Is that his probate record on ancestry - blow me, he died a rich man.

Just looking for census results and whilst there are quite a few Crisps - even a Walter in New York father born England with wife Emma born NY and m-in-l surname King born England, its not the right bloke - birth year 1863 and cant even be your chaps son. Possible rellie?

Sorry, cant see him in the states.

Thankyou Heather

He was a wealthy man and left his wife £360p.a. and the rest of his £24,000ish estate went to Guys Hospital.
