Hi,
Can anyone out there help me find an ancestor of mine ?
He was called John Storrie Gillespieb. 13 Apr 1899 in Paisley, and know he emigrated to Quebec, Canada arriving on 27 July 1920. I think he lived with a cousin James Moore, possibly in Guelph, Ontario. Apparently his mother Janet nee Storrie was also living in Port Nelson, Dundas, Ontario. He later moved to Wayne, Michigan, Detroit by 1928.
I would like to know what happened to him. I don't know if he stayed in the states, or moved back to Canada. I've found him in the U.S. census for 1930,
living as a boarder in Michigan. I'm afraid that's all I've been able to find.
Regards,
Daryl

There is also a passenger list for him for 1928 crossing from Canada into the US. He was a toolmaker.Sue Mackay

Hi Sue,
Thanks for that. I've already found that info on Ancestry, however. I can't seem to find him after the 1930 census, which is the frustrating bit! I would like to know if he stayed in Michigan, or moved somewhere else.
Oh well, thanks for trying .
Regards,
Daryl

On this thread, I'd mentioned that it appeared he returned to Scotland in 1931:
