James and Elizabeth Mabb - New York Completed - Thanks Nutkin
« on: Saturday 07 January 06 11:30 GMT (UK) »
I have a great uncle who was born in "America".  (New York on 1851)
It looks as if my great great grandfather, James Mabb, took his wife Elizabeth along on a business trip to the States and Joseph (c.1850) was born there.
Mary Mabb c. 1848, Bridport, (aged 1 or 2) may have accompanied them.
The year is between 1848 and census 1851, as Sarah, the next child, was born in Bridport, Dorset and they are all at St. Michaels Lane, Bridport 1851.

The port of arrival - I believe to have been New York.

I would be interested in knowing something of their passage - ship, date, to round out the story.
I believe there is something on the passenger lists in Ancestry.com, but do not have a subscription - as this is the only member of the family that has a connection with the States.

Thanks,

Hey! Great! Thanks Nutkin, must be them.
Wonder who they left Mary with?

What an adventure that must have been!
