His wife, Wilhelmina McAlister Allan Mackenzie and their children, Marian Maxwell Mackenzie and William McAlister Mackenzie left Rhode Island for California six weeks earlier than George. This was so they could visit with Wilhelmina's sisters, Emily and Maybelle in California.
     The trip by train took five days. While on the train his wife, Wilhelmina, met a woman with two children and they struck up a conversation. Wilhelmina said that she was traveling with the children alone and her husband would join her later in California. The other woman said she had her husband with her but he stayed in the sleeping car all day away from her and the children to try and avert any kind of trouble with the other passengers. He was a full-blooded Indian and felt other people would not understand the mixed marriage.

     Robert H. Kerr was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John McKenzie, of 735, Dumbarton Rd., Partick West, Glasgow.
          Pozieres is a village some 6 kilometres north-east of the town of Albert. The memorial encloses Pozieres British Cemetery which is a little south-west of the village on the north side ofthe main road, D929, from Albert to Pozieres.
     The Memorial commemorates over 14,000 casualties of the United Kingdom and 300 of the South African Forces who have no known grave and who fell in France during the Fifth Army area retreat on the Somme from 21 March to 7 August 1918. The Corps and Regiments most largely represented are The Rifle Brigade with over 600 names, The Durham Light Infantry with appr. 600 names, the Machine Gun Corps with over 500, The Manchester Regiment with appr. 500 and The Royal Horse and Royal Field Artillery with over 400 names.
     The Memorial relates to the period of crisis in March and April 1918 when the Fifth Army was driven back by overwhelming numbers across the former Somme battlefields, and to the succeeding period of four months during which there was built up, behind the new front, of the army, which on the 8 August 1918 began the Advance to Victory.

     He was confirmed at Church of Our Lady of Grace on 1 November 1905. His sponsor was Joseph F. Brandt.⁸      He was a First World War Veteran.¹
     Note dated July 1931 (NYC): I have to assume the marriage of Irene and Arthur was an elopement.
My reason to believe this is:
Arthur was released from the army in January of 1919
In the 1920 census Irene was living with her mother and two brothers six months after her marriage and Arthur is not found in the 1920 census. I will continue to look for Arthur. He may have re-inlisted but I cannot prove it. More research is needed.³ He was between 1918 and 1928 a policeman in Hoboken NJ.¹ He was between 1929 and 1931 an electrician for the brotherhood of electrical workers.¹
     My mother met my father at her sweet sixteen party on
June 25, 1916. My father was a policeman for the Hoboken police Dept.
In 1918 he joined the US Army Signal Corps. He was mustered out in January of 1919. He married my mother (eloped )in NYC on June 6 1919.
In the 1920 census I found my mother living in Hoboken with her mother a nd two brothers,George and Thomas. MY mother was listed as single.
I couldn't find my father in the 1920 census.
My father and mother had four children. the first (Arthur born 1921 in July), LeRoy (aka Roy) Thomas Mckeon born May 1924, Raymond born 1925 and me (Marion born June 21 1927.
My father died of TB in July 1931. He is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in N orth Arlington NJ.¹

     The only time I saw Harry Mckeon's name was on the baptism record of James Mckeon. After that (about 1860), he was not found in any census or directory. Nine years later his wife Mary Moran is found in the police census of 1890 married to James Malone with three more children. I also found Mary Moran Malone in the 1880 census with James malone and six children.¹

     Henry James Mckeon was born on 17 December 1884 at Jersey City, Hudson County, NJ.^1,2 He was baptized on 28 December 1884 at St Paul of the Cross Catholic Church, Jersey City, NJ.^1,3 He died on 16 August 1963 at Los Angeles, CA, at age 78.^4,1 He was buried on 29 August 1963 in the Queen Of Heaven in Los Angeles.¹

The family moved from Jersey City NJ to NYC between 1884 And 1886.They moved to Hoboken around 1892. When Harry's father died in 1915 all his siblings were living at home in Hoboken. The siblings all helped support their mother who had no working skills. Harry was always unemployed. The family sent him out of the home because he wouldn't get a job to supportt he family or himself. He aspired to be an actor. He went to Philadelphia PA. He adopted a son and never married. At age 57 he applied for Social Security in Philadelphia, PA. He stated on the social Security that he was unemployed. He moved to California and died there in Aug 18 1963. Harry was in Los Angeles County General Hospital with a broken leg and died there. No one claimed the body so the town buried him for free. (I do not know where his son was at this time). The witness who identified him at his death was Russell Banks, it is not known who he is (Nothing is known about how Russel Banks and Harry James Mckeon knew each other. He could have been just the person who discovered him dead.) Harry is buried in Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Rowland Heights California. I added his name to findagrave.com and gave him. flowers.
In 1945 he inherited money from his uncle Alfred Malone, but no one knew where he was. It is not known if he collected the inheritance. Not much is known about Harry. His sister May was in touch with him according to a letter she wrote to Ruth Taylor (Raymond McKeon Taylor's wife.)^5,6

     James McKeon was born to Mary Moran and Harry McKeon in 1859. He was the third child, He had an older sister Emma Mckeon & a brother Thomas McKeon. I have no idea what happened to Harry Mc Keon after James was born. Seven years passed before I found Mary Moran with her second husband James Malone in the 1880 census with three more children.
James married Hannah Coughlin in 1883. Their first child was born in Jersey City NJ 1884. His name was Harry, named after James' father Henry McKeon. James and Hannah moved to NYC where Walter and Ellen (named after her mother) were born.
In 1890 Ellen (child 5 years old) was hit by a car and died. Hannah gave birth to another child in the same year and named him Walter. Hannah and James moved to Hoboken NJ around 1892.
