Good spot Maureen

Not found any more children so that looks very promising

Thanks again Maureen and GB. I think I'll have to do some more investigating regarding children.

Wow, Maureen on finding the ship record! Perhaps that is why I can't find them.

Is anyone able to look on the US censuses for them? I know I'm being super cheeky. You've already helped me enough. :-)

They must have really mistranscribed the name ,because I can't find them landing in NY.

Thanks Maureen. I had a look on Ellis Island and I had no luck either.

Another WOW!!!

Are you able to send me any original pages inc the emigration record if I give you my email?

I know my nana told a story that her parents had come over her in 1899 with the intention of going to the US, but after then death of one of their children and other things Nana couldn't remember, they chose to stay in London. Perhaps Sophie and Philipp were the 'contacts' there.... perhaps not, but still extremely exciting!

Thank you!!
