Hello Rootchaters

I am looking for information for Caroline Fox (maiden name Bulbeck) born in April 1846 in a village called Idsworth in Hampshire, England.
I have all the census, birth, death and marriage records for Caroline, her ascendants and decendants
 
I have details that she emigrated at the age of 66 to USA on the SS Oceanic arriving in New York on 6th March 1913.
She was travelling alone and her intended destination was Dubeque Iowa.The record states that she was meeting her Daughter Mrs Derrett/Durrett?
As far as my research goes she has not got a daughter who also emigrated or even married a Mr Derrett/Durrett?
I have had a short period of membership to Ancestry worldwide and can find no further records of Caroline, not even her death.
Can anyone help with United States records from 1913 onwards.
Thank you in advance for your time

It seems to be over written in the last columns - dis bro-in-law Mr Derrett/Durrett/Devett/Divett

dis  = discharged to

Did Caroline have a brother in law of that sort of surname ?

I wonder if this could be her - https://www.ironrangeresearchcenter.org/details/0/108324/  The age seems to fit, and Minnesota is next to Iowa.

Looking at census entries - she only had one daughter - Ellen Bessie Fox b March qtr 1881.  Caroline married Thomas Fox 1868 & they were in Somerset for 1871/1881 census.  Caroline is back in Hampshire 1891 as a widow

There is a Caroline Fox who died 20 Sep. 1918 in Ramsey Co., Minnesota.  No further detail is on the index about her age, etc., so can't really rule her in or out from that.

Looks like the 1918 death may be her.  Her father's name is transcribed as H. Burlbeck.

Thank you Sandra.
I have checked for a possible Brother in Law to no avail. I searched my entire tree and I have no-one with a surname starting with D!
All of Caroline’s sisters died in England.

Thank you Shellyesq

This looks so hopeful but.......
Caroline was definitely born in April 1846 as I have her record of baptism on the 19th April and the England and Wales birth record for April to June quarter of 1846. Also her fathers name was John  :'(
