Does anyone have the full Ancestry please
I'm sorry but it's my wretched Phoebe Downing again!
I just wondered if I could rule out the possibility of her emmigrating to America - if anyone has the worldwide subscription and has the time to look, she was born in Chester le Street, Durham, in 1831 and if she DID go to America then it would have been between 1851 and 1861.

Yes, a Phoebe Downing aged 22 emigrated on a ship called the Wyoming, which departed from Liverpool and arrived in Philadelphia on 13 June 1853.
There's not much information on the image. She seems to have been travelling with Geo. Downing, aged 25, joiner. Both born in England. Last edited by Mary from Italy; 07-09-09 at 20:45.

 Do we know if she had a brother George?

Oh yes, just looked at the 1851 UK census, and there's a nephew George who was a joiner!
Can't find either of them in the US censuses, though.

I expect Phoebe might have married by the time the next census came round, but of course lots of US marriages aren't online.

Oooooh, just come back on.........thank you so much Mary, that gives me some hope. She did indeed have a brother called George, but will have to look to see about a nephew. He was born 1828 in Chester le Street, and oddly enough disappears after 1851!!
This is exciting isn't it Merry???!!!!! HUGE thank yous to you all quick addition....just checked and her brother George was a joiner so Mary, you found them. Now all we have to do is give Merry back the will to live!!! Last edited by Sally; 08-09-09 at 19:57. Reason: found what was needed

* Fans Merry *
As Kate says, she probably married, but it's a bit hit and miss finding US marriages online. Apparently the new FamilySearch site has Philadelphia marriages 1885-1951 - that's a bit late, but it might be worth bookmarking in case they add earlier marriages. Of course she could have moved on to another state.

*clears throat nervously
Um, Mary if you look in please could you double check that the name of the ship that Phoebe and George sailed from Liverpool on in 1853 was "Wyoming". I am having a spot of bother because there doesn't seem to be any passenger ship by that name until 1870. Even the ship experts on the shipsnostalgia website have come up with nothing........this is just flipping typical of my lot
