Maddie - that looks right (apart from her age which is slightly out) and ties in with ship's name and arrival date given by Astra. Thanks to you also.

hope somone with access to american census can help
maddie

Maddie - that set me on a rewarding path (didn't know what was out there!), so thanks! Although I don't have an Ancestry sub., I can see that in 1920 she was living in "King's, NY" and in 1930 in "Bergen, New Jersey" (having taken 5 years off her age!!). Hopefully someone can find out if she had any children, or what her/their occupations were. But thanks for such a constructive comment - much appreciated. ... Gillian

On the original of the passenger list that Astra posted it says she's a teacher. Hard to read where she's heading to, possibly Maine.

Astra - what great information! Thanks so much! Looks like the census people couldn't cope with "Flora" ... we're getting variations on a theme!

Feel I'm really getting somewhere now, so thanks to you both (Astra and Maddie)

And not that this is much help but this is Vernon with his parents in 1880

Margee - I missed your post in the middle of all the census info. Thank you - my 1891 census info in London says she's a "Board School Teacher". I'm loving all this info!!!

mgnv - wow, now that was a surprise when I came home and checked my pc before heading off to bed. Thought it was all "done and dusted" so this was a nice bonus. Thank you very much.


You've all given me heaps to reflect upon once my head hits the pillow. Thanks to one and all for your time and trouble in helping out. ... Gillian
