Sandra, Thank you for this information!! I think you're right about the 16 yr. old being the closest one. The year matches with the information given in the 1900 census. Thanks so much for your help. Marilyn in Ohio

Dear Sandra K. Thank you so much for looking up STERMER. You found more than I have been able to locate. I was always told they never changed their surname when they came to America, but one never knows. I'll check out the names you listed and see where it takes me. Thank you so much!

My gggrandparents, David and Margaret Graham came to the US from Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland in 1865. This information came from the 1900 NY, Kings Cty Census of two of their children, Margaret and Henry G. Graham. As these two would have been 9 and 15 in 1865, I am assuming that they traveled with their parents. I have found Henry in a city directory as early as 1888 living in Brooklyn. There is no information on Henry's naturalization papers to help me find the ship they traveled on nor can I find any of the family in the census prior to 1880 except the daughter Margaret. Other than to search the passenger lists for that year, are there any other sources, books etc. that might help me find them?

Peter, Thank you very much for replying to my request. I don't think that this Catherine is my Luke Cranney's wife although I do think it is his brother John's wife. The Cranney name is not a common one in Ireland, especially spelled the way my family has spelled it. Luke Cranney's wife was Lucy (Hall) Cranney. She was born in 1839 so would have been 31 years old when they immigrated. They did have a child born in 1869 but she was a female named Mary and would have been less than a year old when they immigrated. You idea about Luke maybe working on the ship is one that I have not thought of. In Ireland he was a "saddler" and in America he is noted as a "harness maker", probably the same thing. I don't think he had experience working on a ship but his wife Lucy's father, John Hall, was a ships steward. In fact, he died at sea. Maybe Lucy told Luke how to work on a ship. They were quite poor and working on the ship would have secured his passage. I am going to go back and visit all the thousands of Ships Passenger site I've already been to, this time looking for a Cranney that worked on the ship. I have sometimes found his name spelled Cranny and Craney so I've been looking for all three spellings. Again, thank you very much for your help and your time looking for my g-g-grandfather.

Hi Marilyn, I checked my disk and found no Victoria Richter. Have you considered the possibility that the Victoria Renter (age 23) who arrived on the same ship may have been who you are looking for? You would be surprised how far off spellings have been on individuals who turned out to be the right ones after all.

Good Afternoon List, I just today found that there was a Castle Garden List out there. I have been trying to find my g-grandfather's ship, or date, on every single ships list site out there. If anyone can help I would appreciate it so much. NAME: LUKE CRANNEY, left from Liverpool; lived in Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland. He declared his intention to become naturalized in Albany, NY, April 1871 and naturalization was finalized Sept 1875. I have him in Newry, Ireland, July of 1869 because his daughter Mary was born there. His son, Luke G., was born in Albany December 1870. Based on this information I have been searching for ships from Liverpool to New York between July 1869 and Dec 1870. Besides a copy of the pages in the log books there is no other record on file. I have checked at the New York State Archives in Albany, NY and there is no certificate there. I was told that many records were destroyed in a fire. Does anyone know of a place where I can find out what ships left Liverpool to New York between July 1869 and December of 1870, and the passenger lists? Thank you ReginaGet more from the Web.
