Hi T,
Thanks for your kind offer of help. I found my husband's great aunt's marriage last week in the Liverpool parish records.

Her name was Catherine Elizabeth Williams born 1880 in Liverpool and married James Duncan McBride on 31-1- 1903 in Liverpool.
They had two sons Sydney James McBride born 1904 in Liverpool and
Norman McBride born 15-12-1905 also in Liverpool.

I think they emigrated to America possibly New York.

I have an old Christmas card list belonging to my father in law which i was looking at yesterday and see he sent cards to a Thelma McBride 10 Highland Park Place New York and a
Mrs Nessy Gordon 71 Lawfield Road New York.

I had no idea who these people were as I didnt know any family were in the USA but now think it must have been some of the family .
I now wish I had asked him these questions before it was too late.

I would be very grateful for anything you can find.
Regards,
Sorcha

Kath..

I'm having trouble in locating them in the census.. I looked in 1840, none with a Micheal, same for 1850.

In 1860 there's one born 1839 in Ireland, living in New York with a Michael but born 1815 Ireland. I think that one are brothers.

Sorry, cannot find them 2 together.

Helen..

What are the ages for Mrs & Misses A, M & H please? I can't spot them in the passenger list! Know of the ship name?

T

Hi, Thanks for having a look.
I have the family in the 1881 census as head-Benjamin Cole,1845,marylebone,job;painter, wife;Harriett Cole,1885,Greenwich & Benjamin, 1875,Marylebone, no daughters on it. so assume the Misses, if Harriett's daughters were born between 1881-1896,
Can't believe I haven't put ships name in my notes!! but it left Liverpool on the 23/07/1896, destinations was Boston,USA Couldn't find father on the list,but it was along time ago when I looked.had almost given up.
Thanks Helen

Hi T
Could you please look up a family for me born Liverpool and i think they left after 1918 Alexander J Douglas Rourke(1861) and Jane Ann Douglas Rourke(1865) they are on a passenger list going to Boston but i dont have worldwide access.
Thank You so much for your time.
Edited..
Just found out Jane was widowed befor the 1911 census so she would be travelling either alone or with her son Albert Douglas Rourke, I have also found Albert the son in 1955 travelling back to Liverpool with a wife Bridget.
Thanks for your time.

Hi T

Thanks for looking for the Earley's, can you give me more details on the ones you found.

Thank you

Kath
