I have just found out that a relation left england for america, I have found out some information that fits, and hoping its not the wrong person im tracing.
She was an aunt of my grans and left for america, in 1915 i think aged 17 and settled in Rhode island , there is a laura robinson who sailed on the Transylvania from liverpool about the same time....
ARE YOU A RELATION, if you are could we exchange information??? who did she marry and did she stay in America etc
hope to hear from someone who knew her
regards Amanda (on trying to find and surname threads)

Ellis Island site has Laura Robinson arriving 19 Jan 1915 aboard the Transylvania. She gives name of nearest relative in England as grandfather Geo. Robinson, 13 Unity St., Glossop.
She's heading to Plainfield, Connecticut to join uncle Jas. S. Robinson, Box 475, Plainfield, Connecticut.

I think this is her. On the 1901 census she's aged 3, parents are Bradford & Mary E. Robinson and they're living with Bradford's father George in Glossop. There's also a son of George named John S. aged 22. Could be the uncle that Laura's going to join in Plainfield. I probably mistook the name thinking it was Jas S. instead of John S.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
