Notes

Note: 1

Anderson Joseph George: there are only two instances of this name recorded in the Bayanne database.

Note: 2

Anderson Joseph George (1901): Emigrated to Canada to work in the harvest and then moved to New York to be with his brother. Had some training as an accountant, was out of work, then was a cashier. (See residences and census). I cannot find a reference to a marriage but 1940 census has him with a wife and three children. The wife is "Inde B" which might be India B. Masses, whose Greek family were living and working in the same area, the family had a florists. As his eldest child was 7 in 1940 thus would suggest a marriage date between 1930 and 1933. (In 1931 India Masses was still single.)

Note that there may be another Joseph George Anderson in that part of New York at the same time, but born a few years earlier. Also, India Masses date of birth appears to vary.

Not sure what happens during or after WWII. JGA was drafted with reference to his next of kin being "Inde", his wife. I don't think that he had taken citizenship by 1940. There is a Social Security Application and Claims Index 1936-2007 regarding Joseph George Anderson, India B. Masses and Robert G. Anderson, one of the sons.

Two rabbit holes: the Massas family in Yonkers with Inde Massas marrying Maurice Langbart in Greenwich Connecticut on 16 Feb 1932. Langbart died in Boston in 1972.

Marriage between Joseph George Anderson in Hillsborough, Florida on 20 Jun 1949 to Diane Elaine Grosch. They divorced in May1969, Pinellas Florida.

Son Richard marries in Aug 1958, mother Indo Anderson

Anderson Joseph George (1901): Travelled to Canada on the SS Marburn (http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_ship.asp?sh=marbu) from Glasgow, having left on 3rd August
(https://www.abdn.ac.uk/emigration/shipsdetail.php?Ships_Name=Marburn&Departure_date=1923-08-03).
He arrived with £5 in his pocket, his travel having been paid for by a friend. He planned to travel by Canadian Pacific Railway to Winnipeg to work in the harvest. He was single and stated that it was his intention to remain permanently in Canada.

Immigration 2 Nov 1923 Buffalo, New York, USA Arrival of Joseph George Anderson (1901) 4a
Note

Anderson Joseph George: Arrived in Buffalo on 2nd November 1923, having travelled from Sinclair, Manitoba, Canada. His occupation was a farm labourer. He was going to join his brother Robert in Newark, New Jersey (evidence of Robert being there?) The address given was 27 Gillett Place. He intended to remain permanently. Described as being 6 feet tall, medium complexion, brown hair, brown eyes.

He claims to have arrived in Quebec, Canada in August 1921 on the SS Metagama but that doesn't agree with his Canadian immigration form, in which he stated he hadn't been to Canada before.

See https://www.gjenvick.com/Passengers/CPR-CPOS/Metagama-PassengerList-1921-09-06.html but this database may not be complete.
