Hi everyone This may be a very short subscription to this list. I have my great grandmother arriving at Ellis Island in 1910 in company with her children but no husband that I can find! Rumour in the family (an elderly aunt) is that they travelled up to Newhaven to work in a gun or armaments factory. I have e-mailed a couple of newspapers and some govt. agencies but so far no reply (3 months is a long enough wait, I think). Can any one tell me whether this is worth pursuing to find out why they came over the pond? A possibility is that another set of rellies were there already although who I have no idea! My ggmother's name and kids name are as follows Jean McMulroch (m.s. Young) Marion (Maisie) Watson McM Margaret (Peggy) Mitchell McM Jean Young McM John (Jack) McM My gmother Peggy and Maisie arrived back and Peggy married in 1920 so I don't think there is much hope with the census! TIA Mike
