      Found them on the Ellis Island entry into New York
      Well Jessie and her son anyway.
      It says Jessie and William jnr. Arrived on Feb 24 1912, at New York onboard the Lusitania ex Liverpool. It also states that William's name was WILLIS but if you look at the original manifest I think his name was Willie. It also says that they were US citizens!
