      Marion Allen Drysdale made numerous trips back and forth to Scotland - however the first trip I see her in United States America is aboard Aquitania, sailing from Liverpool 17 Jul 1920 to New York on 24 Jul 1920
      Marion Wilkie, Age 41, Female, Housewife, Yes to read and write, Last permanent address was Cowdenbeath, Next of Kin is Father Thos. Drysdale of 31 Arthur St Cowdenbeath Final destination Salineville, Ohio She is accompanied by her family:
      Wilkie, David, Age 21, Male, Single, Coal miner, and Next of Kin - noted as Grandfather - Thos Drysdale of Cowdenbeath
      Wilkie, Robina, Age 16, Female, Machine knitter, Single - 'Deaf & dumb' in one column
      Wilkie, James Age 13, Male, Single, Scholar
      Wilkie, Catherine Age 9, Female, Single, Scholar

      Passenger Lists:
      Marion Wilkie, Age 41, accompanied by James & Catherine Wilkie departed Southampton England on 13 Nov 1920, arriving New York on 20 Nov 1920. It is possible that Marion took her family back to Cowdenbeath, Fife at this time, leaving her daughter Robina (disability of deaf & dumb) and then retd to Salineville Ohio in November. perhaps Robina couldn't adjust to Ohio, ??? - wish I knew a family member to hear some family stories. As I notice several more trips back to Scotland by Marion - obviously for family reasons - and perhaps most importantly her daughter Robina - however, I gasp at the cost of those trips.
