Hi Jericho!
Maybe you have this already ....!

1891
Convent of the Cross - 33 Parkwood Road Christchurch Hants

Folio    6   Page   6
Name       Maccarthy, Johanna
Age              18
birth year      1873
Relation     Servant
Gender          Female
Born       Not Known, Middlesex?    
Civil parish   Christchurch
Town       Pokesdown
County       Hampshire

I can't find anything in America yet - I'm wondering if she has a middle name? I tried Johanna /Hanna/Joanna - but nothing yet ... do you think she went alone? any other names that may be easier to look up?Her age is a little off - but what do you think?

I'm not finding anything on Johanna!
Anything you can add would be great! but I don't suppose you have anything!!
Can you talk to anybody? how did you come across her name?

I'll keep trying - but it looks like a very hit and miss affair!!

Annie  :P
