Cousin Vinny

Looks 100% correct to me. Also, the father did not present the child because he had emigrated to America.

HUGH MCILWAIN

Thank you very much. Yes you are correct: the father emigrated to America in 1893 and mother did not emigrate until 1908 with 3 children.

What in the record tells you that the father left?

Cousin Vinny

It's the third line of handwriting at the bottom of the record.

HUGH MCILWAIN

Thanks Cousin Vinny. I will admit that the difficulty of reading the handwriting scared me off from struggling to translate it word by word. Thanks again 😁
