Another elusive person in my tree! I have Clarissa Anderton born Dec Q 1890 in Keighley, Yorks to Jonas B and Sarah E in the 1891 census.
No trace of her after this in the UK. I have her in the USA in the 1910 census in Lawrence City, Massachusetts with her Aunts Emily and Clarissa Murgatroyd (Sarah Es half sisters)
Can find no trace between 1891 and 1910. Anyone help with her date of trip to the US please.
-
For anyone trying to help in 1901 her father Jonas Beck Anderton is a widower RG13/4074 f125 p16. She is not with him
-
Massachusetts Passenger List - Clarisa Anderton born 1890 - 9 months old - Liverpool to Boston Massachusetts on the Catalonia - arriving 2 August 1891 - travelling with Clarisa Anderton aged 28 years - occupation Matron - second class cabin.
Cannot see a reference to the mother in Lawrence MA.

Rosie -thanks for that info - should have posted it.
Sandra - thanks for your input. This family is really bugging me and the answers above have thrown another spanner in the works.
Who is the Clarissa Anderton b 1867 who takes Clarissa to Boston??? Sarah Es mother is Mary Jane Murgatroyd. The Murgatroyds go to Boston on 2 December 1889 On the Catalonia. There is a Sarah on the list but who is she??? Sarah E is a half sister to the Ms (mothers 1st marriage to Pearson Davey) who married Jonas Beck on the 26 December 1889!!!!! She is also on Emily Ms grave stone in Lawrence Mass as having died in 1891.
What a muddle
should have said that 1891 Census has:
Jonas B Anderton
Sarah E Anderton
Clarissa Anderton
Edwin Anderton Brother
James Davies Bro in Law - bro to Sarah E

http://www.sec.state.ma.us/vitalrecordssearch/VitalRecordsSearch.aspx
shows a death for Sarah E Anderton (Davey) in 1892.
also here:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NWP4-NJ8
Perhaps "Clarissa" senior on the shipping list is Sarah E, just a mixup?

Clarice Anderton born 1890
ANDERTON, CLARICE - mothers maiden surname - DAVY

On the outbound manifest for the Catalonia they are transcribed as Mrs. S. E. Anderson (age 28) and Claretta (infant).

Thank you all for your replies and information.
There is another person in the mix: Sarah Elizabeth Anderton b1863, sister of Jonas B!!!
I have sent for the BC of Clarice although Sandra has noted her mothers name as "Davy" (I cannot seem to find this info at all)

The GRO index gives her mothers maiden name as Davy

It has not been there for long. They did a trial for PDF copies for births & deaths a few months ago and I think the information was 'loaded' at that point. It also gives ages at death from 1837.
-
Thanks again Rosie. I have ordered the PDF copy so at least will get the full date.

I ordered some the other day, they arrived a day earlier than expected. Make sure you save it to your computer.
I also had excellent service from the probate office - ordered a recent will on Tuesday morning, its already available for me to see. ;D
