Hi Ohio Susan,
Many thanks for your reply, i can tell you that Mary Ann Grayburn was arriving in New York from the UK with two children George Robert Grayburn buried Union Joy Cemetery, Barry Co, Michigan 21/December/1909 and Sarah Mary Grayburn, buried Vicksburg Cemetery, Kalamazoo, Michigan July 1941 buried under the name Clark.
Mary Ann had just disembarked and fell over on the quayside and died 20 July 1851. she was trravelling with her brother William Norris who sent a message to her husband George Grayburn to come and pick up the children but nothing else was ever said as to where she was buried.

Do you know where Geo. Sr. is buried?
Could her brother taken her back to England?
