      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.
