Catherine Carey b. 1875 in England

[Frank2]

Hi everyone. I've been at a brick wall for a long time with my g-g-grandmother Catherine Carey. She was born in England in about 1875, and she came to the US around 1886-1889 from what I've gathered. I have her marriage record in the US (to Frederick Bradbury of Manchester, England) but I can't find a death record, and I can't determine if any of the England birth records or censuses on Ancestry are hers because I have no idea what her parents' names were or where specifically she was from in England.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

As she was only a child when emigrating, I would think your first move would be to see if you can find her on any passenger lists or immigration records, or 1891 US census to see who she is with.
Does her marriage cert give fathers name?, sorry I am not familiar with US certs.

Well, the US certificates vary a lot between states and the time the event occurred, etc. Unfortunately hers does not give any birth or parental info besides the year. And the 1890 US census was mostly destroyed, unfortunately, so I can't check there. She was married by the 1900 census, which is the earliest record I have of her besides the marriage cert (1899).

I will have a look at immigration records though. I can't remember if I've searched them or not, but it can't hurt. Thank you for your suggestions.

That info is all correct, sgf28. I have four censuses (1900, 1905 New York, 1910, and 1920) and the marriage record, and that's it. I haven't found anything in the immigration records. She and Frederick seem to have moved around quite a bit.

the 1930  census has Frederic(k)   back in Kentucky  and states he's  a  widower   and  with  son Edward    This census  has  Fred  born 1878   immigration   year 1888,  parents born  England  and  his  occupation Chemist
