    2016 research:
    I have searched on familysearch.org & ancestry for Passenger / Immigration collections for George Rae & Christine. There are hits but conclusive evidence is lacking - like chn names are not matching this family. The entry read Mrs Geo Rae arriving New York from Glasgow aboard the Furnesia ship but her christian name is used - so more 'lookin' required
    Likewise for George's arrival - so many George Rae(s), that none are conclusive enough hw

    Other Wilkie researchers are suggesting George Rae died prior to 1948
