Hi Lorraine

Trying to find out what happened to Frances Ellen Dunstan who was included on the passenger list for 1926 sailing to Boston/New York on the Samaria. She was born in Manchester in 1872 and was married to Frederick Dunstan.

Her maiden name was Purselove. She was (according to the passenger lists) going to live with her son John Price who lived at 622 Post Road, Pennsylvania, but do not know any John Price in our history. Is there any where I could find out what happened to her when she got to USA.

Must admit, all the brilliant helpers on GR have got me most of the info here but I'm not sure how to attach this to that earlier thread!

Thanks

Lorraine

Hi Lorraine,

Alices' husband was William Charles c1861 he was a civil engineer

They seemed to travel a lot, but it looks like they travelled separately.

Charles arrived in New Orleans 26th March, 1895, on the West Indian from the Panama

He arrived back in the U.K. 6th April, 1895 on the Etruria,

Can I also ask another question, I have been unable to find their marriage in the U.K., can you see if they married in the U.S.?

Thanks, Joy
