According to the ship's record she arrived at Ellis Island alone.
I haven't looked for the ship's record myself - she may have been a servsnt with a family or come with relatives of a different surname. But 1834 is very early to have very informative ship's records.

Where did you find the ship's records, RSGrosse? And is MacCormick her birth or married name?

According to the passenger list, she traveled alone from Liverpool to the US.

I have her in the 1870 Census in Louisville, Kentucky.  This is her husband.  John owned a grocery store on West Broadway in Louisville and Rosanna was a midwife.  These are my mother's immigrant ancestors:

John Tate
1816–1870
BIRTH 26 MAR 1816 • Selby, Yorkshire, England
DEATH AFT. 1870 • Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky, USA
3rd great-grandfather

Josey, the passenger list was found by a relative via Ancestry (I don't have a paid account).  MacCormick is her maiden name, she married John Tate (1816-aft. 1870) in the US.

Great, thank you for the info. Something more to work on, I have a world ancestry subs but not one for rootsireland.ie. It would be good to find that marriage record - when was John  & Rosanna's first child born?

According to the passenger list, she traveled alone from Liverpool to the US.

A teenage girl might have been in different accommodation onboard to her parents or other relative. Young children with parents in family accommodation; adolescent girls & women in female berths; adolescent boys & lone men at opposite end to single women. A sister and brother who were teenage or older might have been in separate parts of the ship and not together on passenger list. I don't know if emigrant ships in 1830s organised passengers that way.

She was the only person named MacCormick on that passenger list.  I thought about the possibility that she might have been seperated from her parents.
