You can click on all the pages free of charge. Only if you want a copy you have to pay. I recommend clicking to the next and previous page because most files consist of two pages.
There is also the colour of their eyes, hair and length plus family member they left behind and whom they were going to join.
re you saying though that the William J Upwood bn circa 1909 is your man whom you're looking for or is he the son of your man - cos I'm slightly confused.

you and me both :D, he is the one I'm looking for as I said at the beginning of this thread trying to connected to America, just need to know when he arrived.
Someone found this for me, USA census for 1930, Kansa City,Jackson,Missouri which states
Wm J Upwood age 24 Born England
Claire Upwood age 19 born Missouri
If this William Upwood's father was William H Upwood and had been been living in the town of Windsor in Ontario then I may have found his passage details to Michigan in 1928 he states his next of kin was his father William H Upwood and that he was going to see his own sister but I can't make out the name as it is faded on the image I think it reads Mrs Geo' Terallar.
He travelled alone and was single. His Occ was that of a Salesman.
You'll have to send me a Pm with your email addy in it and then I can forward it on for you to see I'm not sure I'll get away with posting the image on here for all to see
Found another Detroit passenger listing for him in 1925 where is age is 20 and he went there for work and his last permantent address was with his sister Mrs Alice Timms of 324a Park St Windsor Ontario. I can't see the full date of travel as there were two passenger card overlapping
