Hi I am trying to trace Susan Elizabeth Haslam who married and moved to California I have found her on the passenger lists in 1921. Susan Elizabeth was born in England she married Jesse Center Burrell we dont have marriage date - can you help us find their marriage. From the IGI and 1880 US census we know that Jesse Center Burrell was born in 1876 in Georgia his parents were Thaddeus Merideth Burrell and Nancy Matha Carter. Can you help me trace the family and Susan Elizabeth on the US censuses so i can add information to this side of the family - any information would be very helpfull. Thanks Karen

Also, on the California Death records there's a Susan Elizabeth Burrell born 23 june 1889 and died 19 Jan.1955. Mother's maiden name was Lorge and father's last name was Haslam. These records are free to look up. I just google California deaths. Margaret
