Could this be William Farndale who can be found on the Ellis Island Website
which shows William Farndale arrived in US on 2 December 1923 on board the
Honorata (Manifest No 20). He had departed from Cardiff. These records show people who emigrated to USA
to work and make money, to improve their position at home - many later returned
(as did William it seems). The immigration centre at Ellis
island processed all people who entered USA from the west. More
information about Ellis Island can be found at the web-site.
