Isabel Moffett from Ireland
« on: Wednesday 19 April 23 16:07 BST (UK) »
Hi All
Isabel Moffett born 2 Sept 1897 at Strews,Cookstown,daughter of Archibald,emigrated like many of her family to Philadelphia. She arrived on the Haverford from Liverpool on 16 Oct 1921 going to her sister Annie Church at  32nd st,Philadelphia. Any help in finding her after that date would be most welcome. Sometimes known as Bella.
Thanks Curley

For others who might want to help: her mother's name was Anabella McFarland.

I'm not finding anything so far. One way to look would be for obituaries of her siblings. If you post their names at death and date of death, someone who has access to a newspapers archive might be able to help you that way.

Let's  hope so. I don't have a sub to a newspapers archive, but a few people on this forum do, and they check the threads regularly.
