I'm trying to find the marriage of Gertrude Snowden born 1879 in Liverpool, UK. She later lived in USA and I'm wondering if she married there. I think she had at least one daughter, also called Gertrude. I can't find a marriage for her in UK.

Thanks.

When do you think she went to the USA?
Thanks

Hi Patricia

This is the correct family. I have no idea when she went to the USA. I have a photo of her in Liverpool in 1904 and 1908 for siblings' weddings, which say Gertie from USA, so it would be before then.

Thanks
Yvonne

this looks like a POSSIBLE for your lady she travelled alone & it states that her mother paid the fare & she was heading for

This is a strong possibility. Another one of her siblings was married in NY so it's quite possible she could've gone out there.

Thanks.
Yvonne

The baptism is correct for her but I don't think the Kentucky one is - unless the birth was in Liverpool.

Thanks.
Yvonne

there is something else wrote above the address on the ship,s log but it badley writen it could be either mr or mrs moorhouse ???
maybe someone else has ancesrty that canbtake alook see if they can make it out

This must be her birth to help narrow things down.

Births Dec 1879
Snowdon Gertrude W. Derby 8b 609

Rose

The birth is correct. She was definitely born in W. Derby to parents John Snowden and Jessie Catherine Donaldson.

Jacky, where did you see the ship's log?

Thanks
Yvonne

Sorry, have to go off-line for a while. Will check back later.

Thanks everybody.

i logged onto ancestry.co.uk & typed in gertrude snowdon & it gives all possibles & halfwy down it says new york passenger list 1820-1857 click on that & shes the only one
jacky

It's on the Ellis Island site, which is free, although you ahve to register in order to view


It's a very easy site to use



Original Ship's Manifest for Gertrude Snowdon Aug 20 1903

Professional Dancer

was also in US the previous August

Bit confused, but it says Going to Mrs Moorhouse 199 Eighth Avenue New York, Mr Wrigth, Auburn, NY is also mentioned




sylvia

I'm back. Thanks to you all for the info. I'll check out the passenger lists mentioned. I'll have to try and follow up on Mrs. Moorhouse - I wonder if it was some kind of lodging house.

Thanks.
Yvonne

Do you have dates for the weddings in 1904 and 1908?

put theses on as possible,s as they both appear on the 1891 census with gertrude

Hi
Sorry, I didn't see the last two replies to my thread. The wedding in 1904 (22 Aug) was John Farrer and Catherine Emily Snowdon, and the one in 1908 was Joseph Mills Griffiths and Josephine Snowdon (don't have the actual date).

Again, thanks for your help.

Yvonne

I've been working on the info you all kindly gave me about Gertrude Snowdon. Working on the trip she made to the USA in 1903 I've tried to find her marriage but had no success. I did mention in an earlier thread that she had a daughter, Gertrude, but I've since found out that that daughter belonged to another sibling but she did have a daughter called Trixie. Does anyone have access to US marriages or census?

Thanks.
Yvonne
