Hi duker

I couldnt find any passenger records for them.

But I saw the arrival form for Leslie, and it says destined: to Nordegg, Alberta - (i think). His occupation was a miner and it says the town was founded as a coal mining town. They might have some records of him there?
Sorry for not being more help!

Leslie McKENNA was listed on a Seattle passenger list 24 Feb 1924, arriving Port of Sweet Grass, Montana. He was travelling with John McKENNA.

Leslie McKENNA; 40; married; coal miner; nationality English; last permanent residence - Canada, Alta [Alberta] Nordegg; nearest relative or friend there - Friemof-Biezma [?] Coal Co. Nordegg, Alta; final destination - Roundup, Montana; going to - ??? Murphy, Box 74, Roundup, Mont.; going to US for 2 months; 5'10"; born Whitehaven, England.

John McKENNA - as above but age 32; 5'11"; born Maryport, England.

There are some more details in the passenger list about these men. They also had to declare whether or not they were anarchists or polygamous!
