Ellisisland.org has free passenger lists, but it was only open until 1924. 

Otherwise, if you can give us as much information as you have, we can do look-ups for passenger lists for you.  Things that might be helpful - her occupation, the town where she was born or last lived, and names of her nearest living relatives and where they lived.

This one doesn't seem to match perfectly, but I thought it was a possibility.  It's tough when the names are so common.

SS Caronia from Cobh 1 Apr. 1928 to Boston
Burke, Anne, age 25, female, single, domestic, born Ardrahan, Ireland, last permanent residence - Ardrahan, Ireland, nearest relative - father Michael Burke, Ballymaquire, Ardrahan, Ireland, final destination - Watertown, Massachusetts, going to join cousin Miss D. Dolan, 65 Piquossette St., Watertown, 5' tall, fresh complexion, brown hair, grey eyes

Thank you so much for that info, it could well be the one as , my Grandfather did have a sister called Anne whom was born c1903?
The only thing that doesn't seem right is the place where she was born? As i certain my lot was from Wexford as this is what it states on my Grandfathers Birth cert!

Any particular information that you're looking for? 

Are you able to get Annie's exact date of birth?
