New Jersey, Passenger List Airplanes 1956-1969

Ashley Report 2 Apr 2023 17:35

Hi

Would anyone be able to do a look up for me on the USA Ancestry site? I'm looking for the details of a family's arrival in USA.
I think they are on the Passenger and Crew Airplane List 1956 - 1969
They would have arrived in New Jersey sometime between 1957 - 1959

Marjorie Elizabeth Benoit (nee Greasley) b. 1936 Salford Lancashire
Susan E Benoit b1957 Newton Lancashire

I'd be grateful for any details the record may have. Also was Robert P Benoit with them?

thanks
Ashley

There are various other records for him - 1940 and 1950 US censuses, school yearbooks, birth, marriage, various addresses - but no travel.
He's mentioned on his mother's naturalisation petition c1940.

Perhaps he travelled on troop transport, in which case there won't be an online record.

Thank you. I saw the overview of the records for Robert Peter Benoit. I haven't found anything to confirm that he is the same person as Marjorie married. Robert died in Massachusetts. Is that where Marjorie's address was in 2019?

They also had a son Jonathan Peter who was born in Solano California in 1959. I can see that from the overview of the California Birth Index which gives his mother's maiden name as Greasley. Do you know if this is the same Jonathan Peter Benoit who married Donna Mae Rose in Kitsap, Washington? Again, I don't have access to the details so cant be certain this is one and the same.

Then there is a cemetery and Funeral Home Collection 1847-current which lists a Jonathan P Benoit. Are you able to see any details of that?

I don't see a Cemetery and Funeral Home record for Jonathan P Benoit.

There are other addresses for him, in Illinois and Ohio (2020).

He may now be in Georgia:

However, I don't know how up to date that is, as the same site gives Robert's "current" address in Massachusetts - but he died in 2019.

There are address records for a Martin Robert Benoit (born June 1966) in East Falmouth (where Marjorie and Robert P lived, per records posted earlier) - although not in Edgewater Drive.
I won't post them, as they're too recent - up to 2020.

Obituary of Robert P Benoit - unfortunately it doesn't mention a wife's name:

https://www.chapmanfuneral.com/obituaries/Robert-Benoit?obId=20622629

But Margery's name is included in another record for Robert P, posted by alviegal on 2 April at 20.52. That record also mentions USAF and Honolulu, as in the obituary.
