Hi,
Could any kind person tell me if Ada Victoria Washburn was still alive after 1912.
I have her leaving Dover on the SS Kroonland bound for New York, unmarried aged 19 years 3 months old. That record does not tell me if she is travelling with anyone else.
She was born 1 Feb 1892 in Illinois to George A Washburn born USA and Ada Kathleen Woodruff born Dover, Kent England 1874.
Kind regards,
Calmar

I'm sorry, I've not been able to find her, yet.
In case it helps anyone with the search, this is a previous post about the family:

Thanks Lisa,
Not having much luck on ancestry for this lady, hence my posting. I can't find a marriage for her or a death. She is not with her parents on 1920 census, so may be married or dead by then.

I'm just posting this comment as I'm not sure if you were aware of one bit of information with regard to the 1912 travel record. On the US incoming manifest noting Ada's arrival on the Kroonland on 21 May 1912, there is a comment that Ada is returning to her home at 414 Rutger Street in Utica, New York. There is no one near her name on the manifest that would seem like a relative/friend heading to a similar/nearby location.
None of the other posts I read seemed to mention this location, and so I thought you might find it helpful to your research in case you are aware of other relatives living in the area or a reason Ada might have lived in New York at the time even though her family seemed to be in either Illinois or England. Also, it looks like Ada appears on the 1911 Census, and so maybe her occupation there (if there is one) is something similar to what she was doing in New York.
Your best bet to learn Ada's fate may be to track down an obituary for one of her parents, as it would hopefully note Ada's married surname or else mention if she predeceased them.

Thank you for that very interesting comment jml77.
I wasn't aware that Ada lived in NY as the transcript of the Kroonland does not show any details of her accommodation/occupation on the record I have got from Ancestry.
If you could let me have those details I would be very gratefull.
According to the Social Security Index, her mother died Jan 1971. Last known address was 60615 Chicago, Cook, Illinois. That is the only record I could find for her.
Kind regards,
Calmar

The information is available if you look at the actual passenger list, and the place that she was going to was mentioned on the second page.

Thank you Shellyesq.
Unfortunately my subs for worldwide are not current and the page I have is only showing page 1. I didn't realise when I downloaded it that there were 2 pages!! Silly me. :(
Can anyone help me with that info please.
Regards,
Calmar

The only thing it says is the address that jml777 noted.

OK, thank you for replying.
Can anyone help with the 1911 census for Ada please, that might show a bit more detail of her life. I have no idea what happened to her after she left her parents.
Or even an obituary please.
