United States of America / Hannah Wright

« on: Monday 21 May 12 15:16 BST (UK) »

Hannah is my 2xG.Grandmother born 17 Jan 1833 in Mileham, Norfolk, England
She sailed from Liverpool on the SS Servia & arrived in New York 18th April 1887. I can find no further information & would really appreciate some help.

Her Daughter Jesse sailed with her & she married Bion Rayon deMott & Frank Walker & lived in Nassau.

Her Son Tomson Garner Wright arrived the following year & also lived in Nassau until he died in 1908.

She does not appear to be with them on any censuses. Her surname was Eastoe for a while.

This is my G.G.Grandmother who was born in Mileham,Norfolk.She married twice & in 1887 got on the SS Servia,sailed to New York with her daughter.She arrived on 18th April & then vanishes completely.
The daughter who sailed with her (Jesse Maria Wright known as Mary) settled in Nassau & a year later her son sailed over (Thompson Garner Wright) & he settled in Freeport & died in Roosevelt Nassau.
I'd really like to find out where she went,I can find no trace.Any help gratefully received.

My G.Grandfather was Robert Ernest Moore who married Eliza Jane Raven on 23/12/1890 at St John's.He was in the Navy & I have his Naval Records & I have some information on Eliza's Family.
They had two children Robert Ernest(G.Dad)DOB1898 & Edith Lillian DOB 1892.
If anyone has any infomation on any members of this family I would be very interested as they keep vanishing-I'd be particularily interested if anyone knows where my G.Grandparents are buried or the children (Edith married twice-surnames Hopper & Roach).
