Janet Syme Henderson - in New York?

[sheepy450]

Hi all,
Getting back into some family tree tracing after a (very long!) break and have hit a bit of a brick wall. I have a Janet Syme Henderson born in Scotland in 1906, and died in Scotland in 1981. The only other record of Janet I can find indicates that she emigrated to the US in or around 1924 - she appears on a passenger list in 1924 and there's a record for her in the 1930 NY census staying with family in Nassau, NY state. It gets more confusing because at some point she had a daughter (also called Janet Syme Henderson) who married in Scotland in 1955 (so *might* still be alive). However, I can't find any trace at all of Janet Senior having married and / or had a child, or of her having returned to Scotland... and I can't find a birth cert for Janet Junior. I'm not particularly sure about where to look as I've limited knowledge about how US civil records work, or where to find them. If anyone can point me in the direction of where I could look, I'd be really grateful!

Are you sure it was a daughter that married & not Janet b 1906.  She died as McCallum in 1981 & that was the 1955 married name

Why did you think she had a daughter of the same name?    It was Janet herself who married in 1955

Could this be Janet - transcribed as Janet Hendson on ancestry but someone has corrected to Henderson
