Gins you've cracked it- that's the one one I was looking for, born in Longnewton Stockton on Tees
Did she have anyone with her, I'm also looking for her sister Mary who also went walkabout ?
The family would love to know what happened to them - is there any US Census info available for them ?
thanks

Bazz

Do you have her birth date?

Hi Gins - Just the FreeBMD record , registered Q4 1886 Stockton

Thanks everyone so far for your efforts

Thanks Gins
Yes thats' her sister, birth registered Q3 1892
It's an absolute brilliant outcome. I wasn't confident of finding Mary as well because it was thought she may have married before leaving the UK

Thanks again everyone for your efforts

It would be nice to know what happened to them after arriving in the USA -or am I pushing my luck

Ellis Island site which is free has the arrival of Agnes & Mary, New York, 1 June, 1913. Agnes is 26 and Mary 20, both servants. They give name of mother Mrs. Cowan, Long newton, Stockton on Tees. they're heading to Racine, Wisconsin to join friend Mrs. Hartnell, 16th. St., Racine.

This fits with her parents as they were Scotish

Hi Gins
Do you think you could have another look at the US censuses for say 1910 and 1920 to see if you can come up with anything on the Mrs Hartnell that Agnes and Mary were to link up with
In 1911she lived in 16th Street Racine Wisconsin - I've been trying to find out which Electoral District it is in but without success
I know the surname only isn't a lot to go on but here's hoping
Thanks Bazz

I cant see anything!

Ive looked at a shipping record and Agnes is going to:

1306 Sunhill Ave
Racine
Wis

The women who she is going to is named as Mrs Humble as far as I can see


Bazz

I would suggest the next step is to buy Agnes and Mary' birth certificates to get the full DOB. With this info we stand a better chance of finding them

Hi Gins, thanks for looking at it again
I think I may have misled you because the address you quote must be the one that Agnes was heading for on the 1911 trip
It is on the 1913 trip that they were both heading for 16th Street Racine, the address given for their friend Mrs Hartnell, and I was hoping that she may have been at the same address in 1910 and possibly the 1920 Censuses
regards Bazz
