My lord, you guys are funny sometimes.
First we're saying that it might be a "S" and not an "M" because his passport preceeded him getting married.
Of course, at the time Hugh Wilson had been married for SEVEN years.
Also, this was THREE WEEKS AFTER THE TITANIC WENT DOWN. I'd imagine he'd want any survivors notified in the event of disaster and would have taken pains to ensure his stuff was in order because if this was his first time across the pond, as David contends, I'd imagine he was scared SH*TLESS!!!
And the funniest thing of all about his passport being older than seven years?
Can I have the Number ONE answer please??
DING DING DING!!!
You're also arguing that this was his first time overseas!!
David Moriarty,
I love your courtroom semantics.
The manifest isn't WRONG, or incorrect.
It's just not a "absolutely perfect match".
Of the millions of people who sailed on ships across the sea between 1910 and 1912, you find someone who is "not an absolutely perfect match" for a guy who was well-to-do, well-connected, in Maritime Insurance, and it's the ONLY record you've found that
MIGHT be our Hugh Wilson.
But yet, you expect us to accept this as PROOF.
You refuted my Hugh Wilson from 1910 because the "I", looked like a "D", although Tom Paul thought it looked like a "J".
Yet, are you now telling us that George Crump's manifest from 1910 has been found...oh...except for one little detail...
THEY SPELLED HIS MIDDLE INITIAL WRONG!!! You guys are KILLING ME!!!
You can't have it both ways...
You can't say that George R. Crump returning from Europe in 1910 is a clear mispelling while...
The Hugh D or Hugh J Wilson returning from Europe in 1910 is the wrong guy.
