Find Ancestors

Thanks to a number of people on Community Board I discovered details about a lost Aunt, Lillian Docking (Darnell in 1911 Census). One of the facts is that she emigrated to New York in 1914.
Being new to this game is there any way I can find what happened to her in the States.
She was born in Soham in 1897. In 1901 she was living with her gparents having been born illegitimately and in 1901 she was livinf with her Auntie as Lilllian Docking Darnell. She emigrated as Lillian Docking having added over a year to her age. Occupation Nurse.

Sorry it was 1911 when she was listed as Lillian darnell

Her arrival:

Birth Location Other: sohan
Age: 18 Years 9 Months

Ethnicity/Race­/Nationality: English

She was a nurse, giving nok in England as Mr & Mrs docking, Gas Works, Syston. She was travelling to a Mr J Pollard at 927 West Street, Rockford, Illinois. He had paid her passage.

Is there any way I can find out what happened after her arrival?

Give me a chance Paul!!

If you want help, just be patient.

pm from Paul

"Thanks for info. but I am interested in finding out what happened after she arrived"

Do you have any idea who this J Pollard might be?

What's her exact date of birth? - useful for tracing in US Social Security Death Index.

Sorry just excited at the thought there are so many helpful and knowledgeable people out there.

How it works is that we have to sometimes go forwards backwards, sidewards and round in circles to get to where we need to be.

We have to build up the picture of who we're looking for.

Can't find any Pollards in my tree.

Could he have been Harry J. Pollard and could she have married him? This lady emigrated 1914:

Chris :)

From Census records she appears to have been born in 1897 but she did lie on the Franconia records.

Paul - you should really have added this to your previous thread .....

Oh no! Another thread?
