I'm searching for information about Sophia Drummond (also Drummers, Drummie, in other documents). She was my gggrandmother. I'm sorry to give so much information, but have searched for years, and am hoping that even some little scrap may help us find my gggrandma's family. We know this about her: she was born January 1840, probably in England. On one Nebraska census report, it says her father was born in Scotland and her mother in England. On a scrap of a family bible, two lines under her name is handwritten the word Hammersmith--don't know if this has to do with her or not. She died 30 Dec 1926, and is buried in Oak Creek Cemetery in Raymond, Nebraska. The name of the ship she arrived on was The Weser. She came as a nanny to the children of the Gardner/Binns family; they all arrived 18 Oct 1869 into New York. The ship started in Bremen, and was of German registry, and picked them up in (probably) Liverpool, or Southampton. From the east they traveled to Nebraska City on train, then had to travel the rest of the way by covered wagon. Sophie is listed (mistakenly, as the captain's writing was hard to read) as: Arumma, Sophie 29 Paddington 69-1086 (this stands for the year, and the date of the ship's arrival). Later in 1891, Emily Binns, the mother of the children that Grandma Sophie was nanny to, went to England. When she returned, she brought back a woman who may have been a relative to Sophie. I have this information: RMS Teutonic Liverpool, England & Queenstown, Ireland to New York 27 May 1891 Columns represent: Name, Age, Sex, Calling, Country of which they are citizens (Nationality), Last Residence, Intended destination or location, Date and cause of Death, Location of Compartment or space occupied, Number of pieces of baggage, Transient or in transit or intending protracted sojourn. (Since there were no deaths on the voyage, that column was omitted below.) S. G. Drummond 27 F Serv't. Scotch Glasgow New York 2nd Cabin Rms. 2 permanent Emily Binns 61 F Wife English Liverpool Lincoln, Neb. 2nd Cabin Rms. 4 permanent She married Thomas Coppinger (originally from Hawkhurst, Kent, England) on 11 Dec 1876 in Lincoln, Lancaster Co., NE. They had two children: Richard Thomas Coppinger, b. 9 Jan 1878, and Maude Emily Coppinger, b. 5 Nov 1881. On the 1870 NE census, she is listed living with the Binns (misspelled Beens). Her name is spelled Sophie Drummers. On other documents she is listed as Drummie, Drummer, etc. On most, she is listed as Drummond. On census information, there are listed Dummies, Dimmies, etc. living by known family members of Sophie and Thomas. I don't know if they are related or not. Perhaps the census takers couldn't spell, or maybe this really was their name. I would be most grateful for any information about my gggrandmother's family. Thanks--Nancy Merrill Sayed
