So do you know roughly when Eva and Ruby were born, and where?
Jenson is Scandinavian, did they marry in this country?
Is this just co-incidence?

This Ruby?
Ruby E Watson
Arrival Date: 25 Sep 1956
Ethnicity/Race-
/Nationality: British (English)
Place of Origin: Britain
Port of Departure: Southampton, England
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Queen Elizabeth
Search Ship Database: Search the Queen Elizabeth in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database

Added:
Ruby appears to be travelling with Norman V Watson, so if Ruby and Norman are married Ruby's maiden name is not Watson. So Eva P's maiden name is also not Watson?
