Searching for Lennon family from Scotland - tips please

Hi
I am looking for some tips on where to start as the amount of "try us" places online has bamboozled me!
I am trying to find out where my great-great-grandfather ended up when he got the boat to America around 1914-ish.
His name was John Lennon and he was born around 1873 in Motherwell, Scotland.
He left Scotland around 1914 (possibly via Queenstown Ireland) with, or closely followed by his daughter Lizzie Lennon (born 1894).
I have a vague recollection of being told by my great-gran about relatives in Philadelphia, but cannot be sure of that.
I am very curious to what happened to him as he married for the 2nd time and had a child (my GG) in 1913, then went to America with only 1 of hs older daughters in 1914 and, I'm told, never ever came back.
Any tips on where to start would be great. Thanks
