My grandfather's aunt, Julia Swallow (1892-) went to the US, arriving on the St Louis on 20 September 1913 from Southampton.  We think she lived in New York, she gave her destination as W.A.Swallow of 1274 Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn.  She had a brother Walter (1881- ) and a Walter Swallow arrived at Ellis Island on the Arabic from Liverpool on 16 December 1907 with his wife.  Another brother, Frank (1888- ) moved to New York in 1912.  Then they all seemed to disappear.  Julie visited her nephew (my grandfather) up until 1952.  I assume she married, but don't know how to find a marriage in New York.  I tried writing to all the Swallows in the current New York phonebook, but no replies.  Any assistance or direction gratefully received.

My great grandmother, Catherine Margaret Probert, was born in 1883 on a boat going to India.  Her father was a sailor, William Probert,  and her mother died giving birth to Catherine.  This is the family story, anyway, so far not supported by bits of paper.  Little Catherine supposedly continued on to India, and at some time returned to England, where she does not seem to have married husband number 1, but produced a bevy of children from about 1907 on in the Herts/Cambridge/Essex area.  The woman seems to have been very nervous of paperwork, but was a good catholic woman, although requests have met with mixed results
thanks for any clues

I am hunting Sarah Ellen Rouse, who married my great grandfather Frederick Guy on Christmas Day 1884 in Marylebone.  In 1891 they are living in London under the name Guy, but by 1901 they are living in Savoy Street under the name Rouse -- the whole family.  In 1904 Frederick has "married" Rachel Spinks and has the first of 4 children (also called Rouse) that they had.  But we can't find any record of Sarah's death between 1901 and 1904.  She didn't go back to Stoke by Nayland, where her grandparents had lived, she doesnt seem to be buried there.  I wonder what happened to her sister Louisa Sophia Rouse (born c. 1855).  There is a Sarah Guy in the death index for 1906 in Uckfield, Sussex.  The age is right.  I am wondering if she went to Louisa (did Louisa marry?) or if Hannah and Henry (her parents) are in Sussex.  If someone is interested, could they possibly do a couple of lookups for me. Sorry it is a long story.

Family story says my great grandmother, Katherine Margaret Probert, was born on a boat going to India in 1881, and her mother (name unknown) died in childbirth.  Katherine's father, William Probert, was a chef on the boat and was born in Cardiff.  Katherine died in 1962 in Hertfordshire where she had raised her children.  She may have been married to a man called Charles Price or Charles Grey, but later married a Mr Andrews.  Katherine was a bit of a mystery woman, and William Proberts abound in Wales.  I have looked where I can think of, can anyone please offer some suggestions.
thanks
