I've just noticed, you have changed from Elizabeth to Margaret??

"my relative says margaret went to america and then came home again and she had at least two marriages"

Is this a mistake or is it the daughter (on passenger list previously posted) you are referring to?

Travelling with Thomas Arthur, and Margaret Boswell (who I think is 7, but image bad) - he states his nok as mother Edith Boswell but I can't read her address.

Added: Sorry, mother should read Edith Grover, of what looks like Westhaven, Conneticut. And the child Margaret is age 1 not 7.

"Boswell" is a name my elderly relative gave me, but i have searched and searched and cannot find a record.

Where is this record ? it is so exciting

boswell of course is another travelling family

my elderly relative says she met a johnny boswell many years ago

my relative says margaret went to america and then came home again and she had at least two marriages

i have asked other tree owners without success

woweee

there is an Elizabeth Monks who married a Thomas Arthur Boswell in 1902 at St Matthias church Toxteth Park, father John a horse dealer

Welcome to the boards, David.

Have you looked to see if anyone on here has her in their trees

elizabeth monk was born 27/09/1882 in preston lancashire

parents john monk and catherine (nee bulger)

the family is missing on 1891 census but i know they were in preston because several children were born there

they are in liverpool on 1901 census under MONKS with john monk and catherine and the children including elizabeth monks

that is the last record of elizabeth i can find

i have spoken to a relative who says she was married at least twice and went to america and came home again but i can find nothing

monk/s is a common name in lancashire there is even another elizabeth monks born 1882

my family is a travelling family and elizabeth was a hawker

if anyone can help with finding her after 1901 i would be very very grateful
