In 1929, he "landed" in canada, and was destined for Brooklyn NY

And in 1943, he has an "Alien crossing card" valid for Detroit and niagra falls

Ships from Britain via canada/NY?

Apparently that spelling of the name (Quaskey) is in Maley's Story of celtic
I think if you check the spelling in Maleys book it reads J.Quaskley and not Quaskey

the Paul Lunney book gives a team photo with his name being Quiskley

i would tend to side with Maley :thumbsup: as Paul probably took his info from his book.

Checked the census and there are no records for anyone with the surname "Quaskley" or "Quiskley" in Britain from 1851-1901)

There is a general problem with this, as if they are immigrants, they probably have a variety of ways of spelling their new "anglicised" name

On the 1933 line up in the version of Maley's book I have, just after page 120, he's definitely named as "J.Quaskey, Trainer". I can't find him anywhere else in the book.

He's also in two team line-up pictures in Jim Craig's book, "sometime in 1932," and the 1933-34 team picture. Unfortunately Jim's not given him a name-check.

Ah, found "Quaskley." Maley lists the trainers early in the book and adds the 'l' into his name there.
