Lumsden family

[Kath Boon]

MaureeninNY - the only person I am aware of that emigrated to PA is Betsy Ann. She married George Dibb and died in 1935 in Westmoreland, PA.  She had Grace 1889, George 1892, John 1895 and Jean 1902 if that is any help.  Mind you, I lost her parents after the 1871 census, so don't know if they emigrated as well.  Betsy Ann was my g.grandmother's sister

I can't find her or the DIBB family on the 1900 census but I suspect she may have been living with them. And of course the 1890 census didn't survive.

Brother William also seems to have died in PA.

Hi Maureen, the information I have on Elizabeth (Betsy) Ann Lumsden is as follows:-
Born - 1870
Died - 1935 in America
English census 1871 - 14 Sinkers Row, Cambois (Cambois in a small town in the Borough of Bedlingtonshire, and is just over the river from where I am living)
English census 1891 - 28 Frankfort Street, Gateshead (Gateshead is on the other side of the river to Newcastle upon Tyne)

1900 - Liverpool to PA, USA - went with Thomas and William
1910 - Clarian PA, USA
1920 - Clarion PA, USA
1930 - Butler PA, USA

Her daughter Grace was born in 1899 in USA
Her son George was born 1892 in England
Her so John was born 1895 in England
Her daughter Jean was born in USA

This is as much information as I have at present, and probably explains why you cannot find her on the two USA census'

Hope this information helps
