Ruth Olivia GOSLING widow in 1939
1895–1974
BIRTH 3 MAR 1895 • Talaton, HONITON, Devon, England
DEATH 16 JUN 1974 • of Rose Cottage, Talaton, HONITON, Devon, England
=====
On the 1920 passenger list she gives her address as Holcombe Hall, Dawlish, Devon, occupation: Maid.
I wonder if this is also the address [below] of her employer?

On this occasion she appears to be travelling with a Francis FRASER born about 1864 Occupation: Director. address: Grand Hotel, Rugby, Warwickshire.

Can his FRASER family be identified please?
Who is she with on the other New York arrival records?

Francis Fraser born where?

Why do you think she was travelling with him?  They have different addresses and the incoming passenger list has a lot of people travelling singly?

She also travels out in 1919, first class, with a Christiana Mary Benn (64) and Christine Crowther (18). They are listed as no occupation, whilst Ruth is a maid

Added - NY entry records show Mrs Benn is grandmother to Miss Crowther, and Ruth their employee. Contact is Harrison Benn of Greystone RoI. Mrs Benn's last place of residence in England was Shipley, whilst Ruth was from Talston

Both Benn & Crowther give contact as Mrs Hilda Truscott,  Holcombe Hall

Ruth Olivia is single. Gives nearest relative as Mrs Gosling, Laurel Cottage, Talston, Ottery St Mary

How can she be a widow in 1939 when she was born & died as Ruth Olivia Gosling? 

Where does she fit into your FH?

The 2nd page of the 1920 passenger list says her passage was paid by Mrs. Benn and she was going to the Narragansett Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island.
