Subject: searching for Adeline Frances STACY in NEW YORK FROM 1912? I have just subscribed to this list with hope that some local genie sleuth will be able to locate my Ancestor who arrived in New York from Liverpool early in 1912. She was born Frances Adeline STACY at Norwich, Norfolk in the UK in 1887, her parents being Samuel STACY and Ellen STACY nee' DAY. By 1903 both her parents had died and so far she has done a disapearing act for the 1911 UK census. However I have just discovered her on board the Carmenia from Liverpool to New York early in 1912. By this time she had reversed her forenames and both the departing and arrival passenger lists have her as Adeline Frances STACY, a single 25 year old nurse whose previous address was in London, UK. The Ellis Island ship's manifest has her definetly being born in Norwich and her attention was to stay with a friend " a Mrs Johnsey at 232 East 76th Street, New York, N.Y. Further along the line is written "Dis to Ada Matley 34 East 67th Street" although I do not know what this means? My questions are would there be a record of any marriage in New York or nearby for and Adeline Frances or a Frances Adeline STACY (or STACEY) after 1912, or if still single, any mention of her in the following census of 1920? Would her name appear in any New York newspaper notices? or would she be listed under her maiden name if or when she may have applied for US citizenship? Any help or advice would be most appreciated, cheers Bob in Australia

"Dis to Ada Matley " may mean discharged to Ada Matley. When I visited Ellis Island they said women traveling alone had to wait until someone came for them.
