« on: Tuesday 16 August 11 13:20 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any idea where i could find information on the death of a Mary Ann Grayburn born 20 Feb 1824 Thearne, East Yorkshire, UK who collapsed and died on the quayside at New York 20 July1851 whilst on her way with her children to her husband in Barry Co, Michigan.
I would suppose she was buried somewhere in New York but have no idea where.
Thanking you in advance for any help

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