Margaret Priscilla Moser

Descendants of Jacob Moser (1711-1779) (#2)
Pedigree of John Greenwood Cordes
The UK Incoming Passenger Lists record a "Mary Moser", age 24, embarking Halifax on the Allan Line Royal Mail Steamer "Parisian" and arriving Liverpool, April 21, 1895. The name on the scanned image could be read as "Margt" though it looks somewhat more like "Mary". Despite this problem with the name, and the age discrepancy, I am reasonably convinced that this entry is for Margaret "Maggie" Moser, on her way to England to marry Edward Greenwood the following month. Margaret (Moser) Greenwood returned to Canada with her two children in February 1919, on the Canadian Pacific ship "Melita". Edward Greenwood had died in 1915, and this trip, just three months after the end of the war, was the earliest opportunity she found to return home. The ship sailed from Liverpool on the 19th or the 20th of February and arrived in Saint John, New Brunswick on either the last day of February or the first of March, 1919.
