Ancestry has a James Abbott born 1880, England as a crew member of the Aquitania which seemed to have arrived in New York from Southampton on a monthly basis in 1927.

I am seeking a James Abbott born June/July 1880 who left England on the Campania in September 1903. He would have been a time served skilled craftsman although the ships list had him as a Labourer and could probably turn his hand to most building work.
He left his home County of Cornwall and travelled to Liverpool then by Ship to New York. The Ship was a sister ship to the Lusitania and in the Cunard Line. Sadly that's all the information I have. Would love to know more.
many Thanks
