Title: The Carmenia, Ellis Island.
Post by: Josh on Sunday 26 March 06 05:08 BST (UK)

 Clarence Thetford of Salford (b. Sep qr 1893) arrived at Ellis Island, New York, on 1st Feb 1914, aged 21 on the ship Carmenia out of Liverpool, being listed as a resident of Warrington. He had a son, Harry Thetford (b.16 Nov 1917) in New York and moved back to England bringing his son with him at the end of the War.

    I am trying to find out who Harry's mother was. Clarence was working on the ships during World War I in New York when Harry was born. Possibly shipbuilding. Presumably that is when he met Harry's mother. Can anyone help?

    Clarence was married to Agnes HOLDEN, Jun Qr. 1952 in Heywood Dist. She was born about 1892, died Dec Qr. 1967 in Heywood Dist., aged 75 and I think that this was Clarence's second wife.

Hi Josh

Sorry, I haven't found out the name of his wife but I have found his WWI Draft Registration card.

I have a copy of this info if required

Just a small step but hopefully of some help

Best wishes
