Find Ancestors

Hi all,please could someone look up a Jennie Wilson/Hope,in the 1907 american arrivals,I also have Jennie as in residence in 1920 at lake creek,Williamson,Illinois,and again in 1930 at Johnston City,Illinois.these are source citations from Ancestry,her birthdate is 24 july 1896 in Willesden,London.and her death date is 3 July 1955 Melrose Park,Cook,Illinois,her name I think was Hope,but looking at someones tree they have her down as Wilson,sounds a bit confusing I know,but if you could shed some light on this I would be a very happy person.
Thanking you.

Hi Terry, I'm not seeing an actual arrival for that year. The tree owner has taken that date from the 1920 census which asks the year they arrived in US.

Do you know the names of her parents/siblings and I'll look further.

The Jenny on that tree was obviously born Jennie Wilson and married John Hope - does that fit the Jenny that you're looking for?

So Hope is her married name?

the tree on Ancestry is very confused as it has her down as Jennie Hope and father Robert Wilson. I would take it with a pinch of salt as the census returns in England do not relate to the people. They have just copied from another tree that is not actually the same family.

This would be the 1910 for the Jenniw Wilson on that tree:

RutlendBelle's quite right, I wouldn't trust the info on that tree. They also have a 1901 census for a Hope family that just couldn't be right.

If Terry tells us more then perhaps we can help properly.

Maria,I am not 100% sure why she has put her birth down as Jennie Hope,and Jennie Hope is who Im looking for.

Terry, just to be clear - you're looking for a Jenny Hope born 1896 in Willesden?

If it's the Orlea tree then it does look like they've put the birth as Wilson.

Do you know who her parents and siblings are? Was finding that tree on Ancestry just a coincidence? Have you any reason to believe your girl did go to US?

when you say she has put her birth down as Jennie Hope, who do you mean? The tree owner or Jennie herself.

On the US census in 1920 and 30 she is obviously married to a John Hope

Im sorry you all sound like its a mis-match on that tree,and maybe im clutching at staws,I have been looking for Jennie forever,I have details of all her other siblings now but she seems to be very elusive.your such a great lot on here and always very helpfull,

Belle no her name is on the tree with the source citations she has there,confused.com.

there is a Jennie Hope in 1901 in Willsedon that fits but she could not be the one in US unless she married a man with the same surname

Belle and Marie,yes this is the right family.

well Jennie would only have been 13/14 in 1907 so doubt she would have gone to US on her own and her father stays is England

I would discount that US tree

Yes I think your right Belle,I will just have to keep on looking,thank you all for your time.and keep up the great work you do for this site.

Some of the children's names on the 1911 census match 1901 but some don't. Could Jessie in 1901 be Lena in 1911?
