Ellen and Sarah Lewin

[Trudles]

Don't know if anyone can help but Sarah Lewin was born in the Isle of Man in 1851 (her maiden name was Flinn).  She left for USA around 1876 after the death of her husband, Charles Lewin.  I believe I have found her on the 1881 New Jersey Census as a servant named Sarah Lewine in the home of Samuel Cooper in the city of Camden.   Her daughter Ellen (or Eleanor), born 1868 in the Isle of Man, also moved to the USA with Sarah's sister (another Ellen) and her husband, Philip Hanneberry (various spellings including Hanneborg).  Ellen is also listed on the 1881 census but in Philadelphia living with the Hanneberrys and shown as scholar and niece.

I can find no further trace of either mother or daughter and not sure where to look, possibly either or both married in USA.   I know Ellen's cousin Margaret Hanneberry married a Charles Wagner in Philadelphia.

Does anyone have any suggestions.    Lewin in this case is a Manx Gaelic name and not an Anglicization of Levin or Levine.

Many thanks

Trudie

Just an FYI - the US Census was done in 1880.

There is a Philadelphia marriage index & some Philadelphia death records (as well as various census and other records) here:  https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/list#page=1&region=NORTH_AMERICA

Hi and thank you for your reply - I'll certainly try that.   I did know about the US census dates - put it down to a senior moment.   Pity the 1890 isn't around.  Such is life.
