Hi Rose,

Just on my way to bed......

Will have a think about the wording tomorrow and will PM you.

Thanks again,

Sue

Hi Sue,

Why don't you PM me with what it is you want to say and your email address and I will contact them. Not sure I would word it right.

Rose

Thank you very much for your kind offer Rose.......anything's worth a try I guess and yes please, I would be most grateful for your help in this.

Will I need to pm you my e-mail address?

Sue

I can try contacting them if you wish.

Rose

Rose,

Thank you for the additional information.

Sue

They only have one child listed as Living Balakitsis.

Rose

Forgot to add the 1930 census says they've been married 10 years so that bit fits.

Rose

Looks like the image says husb. Thomas in faint writing. Another column looks like husb Frank?

Rose

Thank you all...Mrs T Rose and Margaret.

After all this time I have spent trying to find her, progress has been made in a matter of minutes and I now have something to go on.

Once again many thanks.

Sue

The ancestry image of the passenger list for Ada does say 164 - my mistake!

It says under the 'If Naturalized' section - 'By marriage'

No problem Sue - email on its way!

On the Ellis Island site she's Ada Proteria Delahunty, age 20, going to join husband (can't make out what it says) 164 11th. Ave., New York, N.Y.

There's this in 1930:

Says Adeline was born in NY but her parents were English.

Possibly Thomas was an American GI in WWI and they met and married and returned to America:

A possible entry - there are others too.

Naturalized by marriage - heading for 184 11th Ave New York.

Bit of a long shot and not much information I'm afraid

My mother born 1919 out of wedlock (her mother already married although not living with husband) always told me she had two half sisters who she never met that lived in USA.

Have the marriage cert of grandmother (mum's mother) Susan Matilda Fosker to Frederick Stanley Cox 1st Oct 1899 Clerkenwell.

1901 census Susan & Frederick have a daughter Ada Pretoria Cox born 1900. Have birth cert for Ada Pretoria with correct parents born 21st May 1900. This is the elder of my mum's half sisters.

But I have no idea when she went to America. I can't find her on the passenger list under her maiden name, and the couple of marriages I have found for Ada P Cox in the right area at the right time (1920-1925) don't seem to be on the passenger lists either.
I wonder if it would be possible to look up anything at all for Ada Pretoria Cox in the hope that she arrived in America under that name.

Thanks to anyone who is prepared to take a look..

Sue
