  Records indicate that John Galbraith,Rose Galbraith, and William O'Rourke, who had been living on First Ave. in Verdun, Quebec, emigrated from there on 11 Aug.1927. Their destination in the US was to John's sister, Mary, who lived in Oyster Bay, New York.

  In the 1930 US Census, Rose's name is recorded as Frances R. I believe that this may have been due to an misunderstanding, possibly related to her husband who was recorded as John F. Galbraith. The "son" recorded for this couple was actually William J. O'Rourke, son of Rose's (half) brother, Michael O'Rourke. However later records indicate that William referred to himself as William O'Rourke Galbraith. He died on 25 Nov 1983 in Alameda, California, United States.
