1921 - Fred and Queenie Warland

Fred Warland, the son of Charles Warland from Southampton and related to other Dorset Warlands, appears to have migrated to the United States before 1921 although he does not appear in the Ellis Island registers before then. On 11 November 1921, Fred's wife Queenie Warland, an 'Englishwoman', arrived at Ellis Island with her one year old son Edward Warland. Exactly how old Edward was when he arrived is unclear as Fred and Queenie married in 1915, which would mean that Edward was no more than 5 or 6. However, other records of his return to the UK seem to indicate he was possibly older.
