Title: Violet Mary Jackson birth 27.09.1903
Post by: Morannes on Tuesday 16 January 24 15:59 GMT (UK)
Trying to find a birth record (or baptism) for a Violet Mary Jackson on 27.09.1903  in Brooklyn, NY city.
Her parents Joseph Jackson and Elle (Nellie) nee Lalley travelled from the UK after 6.4.1902 (her sisters birth in UK) and returned before the UK 1911 census.  Living as per the  1905 census from NY (16th Electoral District, Block C, 30th Assembly District, Borough of Brooklyn, County of Kings. NY. He is a machinist, she a housewife.  He could be working for a company called E.W. Bliss and Co. of Brooklyn, New York who produced torpedoes for the US Navy.

Another relative wonders if she was adopted by them in NY - have no evidence of this so finding a record of birth would help to solve this mystery. 

Any help with this would be much appreciated.  Regards Sue

What information is given in the Nationality Column on the 1911 for Violet, is she included in the number of children that Nellie gave birth to on that census.  You don't mention whether she is with the family on the 1905 USA census.

Hi both.  Yes Violet is on 1905 NY census - Joseph 30 / Ellen 27 / Nellie 3 and Violet 1.

1911 census is for  Coventry Warwickshire England.   Violet's birth stated as Brooklyn, NY with a comment which says British Subject by parentage.

Thanks. Sue
