Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Re: Jane Smith and Florence (Florrie) Barrett
« on: Thursday 04 April 13 21:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi All Thanks for your help on this subject
I am still working. Between 1919 and 1927 they travelled 14 times I have found and as far as I know settled in Honolulu.
My latest findings are that both ladies sailed from Liverpool to Colon (Cuba) July 1927on the `ORDUNA`

Also they applied for citizenship and Naturalization both lived in USA at the time
This record was on Ancestry but I dont have membership. Maybe someone would be kind enough to confirm this for me.

Thanks again

Just to Summarize (in my mind)
Jane and Florence were last recorded travelling to Canada in 1924

What became of them after that is anyones guess
I remember( as a child)  that they visited us (from Honolulu) but we were not at home and left no  contact address .

Thanks everyone for your help .Maybe one day the puzzle will be solved.

Thanks again

Thank you for your prompt reply
I don`t really know much about Mr White but on the ships manifest 1923  he was listed as Friend( in England)  to Jane and Florrie .
Not sure if he actually travelled with them. His address was listed as 32 The Avenue. LEIGH Lancs

In 1923 Jane and Florrie returned from their travels via New York heading for Leigh in Lancashire.
From then I have no idea what became of them.

Jane was the widow of Eldred Smith b 1879 son of Thomas Smith 1829 and Harriet (Calland) 1840 and Florrie was unmarried

They travelled with a friend Ernest J White b.1879 Leigh Lancs Who
 lived at 37 Vernon St. Pennington in Leigh in 1911

If anyone could tell me what became of them after 1923 .  I know that later they continued on their travels to Honolulu

Hoping someone can help me away from this Brick Wall

I might be wrong but I think that Mount Pleasant is actually in Greetland.
The fleece Inn ( the Golden Fleece) is next door to the house I lived in called `Mount Pleasant` Rochdale road. Greetland
The Golden Fleece Inn at Greetland has recently closed and I believe is now offices.
