Rollings look up please
« on: Friday 27 June 08 19:40 BST (UK) »

Hello All,

            I have discovered Emma Rollings left England 5 June 1895 on the Majestic to New York.

I have 2 other names a Mrs Jane Rollings and a Mr Ruben Rollings that was with her on the voyage

and think they must be her parents. I know she married a Harry Dance b 1883 in Abingdon Berkshire

in America but i dont know when and where. Kind people on here found Harry living in Manhatten.

What i would really like to know is can anyone find anything on Emma on the census records and

a marriage for her and Harry would be a bonus. They both died in Long Beach and i have this info.

   Hope someone can help me Smiley Smiley Smiley

Italiangen.org has a listing for a naturalization for Henry Dance, born abt. 1883 and certificate from 5/13/1919.

Ancestry has a passport application with a picture of Harry & Emma.  If you need a copy of it, let me know.

I found a passenger list for the SS Homeric from Southampton to NY on 9 Nov. 1922 with Henry Dance, age 40, married, naturalized in District Court, New York 15 May 1919, living at 212 E. 49th St., New York, NY.  Also, wife Emma, age 42, naturalized by marriage.

They also traveled on the SS Caronia from Southampton to NY on 21 Sep. 1927.  Henry was 43, Emma was 45.  The passport number was 408648.  They were living at 240 E. 59th St., New York, NY.

Hi Shellyesq,

                 Thank-you so much for the info Smiley Smiley
 
    I know my Harry was also down as Henry on a census record that someone found for me.

   This makes it look like they must have married in Manhatten then. Grateful to you for taking the

   time to look for me.

I think I found a brief obituary for Emma's sister Edith Carlson in a Long Beach, California newspaper.  If you don't have that, I can get the information for you.
