New York census 1915
« on: Thursday 21 October 21 18:58 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for Esther Greenland on the 1915 new York census. She was born in London in 1897. When she married in NY in 1916 her address was 47 First Street.
Is it possible with the census to search for people living at that address?

She married Susman Hershorn
Thank you

Sorry Hillhurst you beat me to it -- the immigration record I have seen gives her brother's name and her mother's.

Do you know the date of her marriage please?


There is an immigration record for an Esther Greenland b 1897, England - a dressmaker who had been living in Paris. Arrived New York 5 July 1916.

If it's the same Esther, the immigration record gives some family details and her address in Paris.

May not be the right person though. (Was there a 1915 census anyway? I thought they were 1910, 1920 etc etc)
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.

Thank you. You are all correct I have the manifest of her coming from Paris. I wanted to check they were the same Esther but they obviously are. I thought her mother's maiden name is Feinstein, it's all rather confusing.

I have the marriage record from family search.

I didn't see a brothers name though Pennines? What is it?

According to the document, he arrived in NY on 13 July 1915. Previous residence: Paris, France.

Question: Are you and Hgreenla doing this research together?
