My gt-grandmother, Rebecca Krakowsky and her children, Barnet, Annie, Leah and Woolf sailed from Liverpool to Philidelphia on the SS Southwark in June 1894 to meet with Rebecca's husband, Joe/Jacob in New York.
Woolf was just a few months old when they sailed and yet it seems that barely two years later Rebecca had given birth back in London, England.
If Rebecca and her children were sent back to the UK shortly after arriving in America
a) are there any records that might say when/why she was deported?
b) are there any records as to which boat she may have been on if she were to be deported, or if she came back of her own accord at some point shortly after?
I believe, given that Rebecca later gave birth, that she must have met her husband in America - yet he does not appear on the 1901 Census with her, which makes me wonder if she came back to the UK without him, or if he subsequently died before 1901.
Many thanks for any help.
