Janet and Ivy BROWN (or THOMPSON) leaving the UK for N. America? 1890s

[ValJJJ]

Good find -  just behind you 

I don't think that Ivy will be found on any passenger list, I think she was a young infant not recorded.

Sandra

Although by end March 1893 she would have been 2 years old.  So not a babe in arms.

Good find Sandra

I think that's Ivy - her birth March month is right and as the USA 1900 census was taken in June 1900 1 year out on the enumerators calculations base on her age given by the school is acceptable.

Keeps narrowing the gap 1891 to 1900

[ValJJJ]

Oh well found, and as dobfarm says the year of birth out by one year is OK if calculation by the enumerator. 

Note that there is no mention of her ability to read, write or speak English, or how many months education (others on the page have 10).  Wonder why this wasn't filled in?

Well done, Sandra 🙂

Doesn’t it state 10 months for Ivey too? All the ones who don’t have ‘yes’ to those skills are the younger ones - perhaps just a general assessment.

[ValJJJ]

Yes you're right.  And we know our Ivy had an academic record later on.

Wondering if there are some admission records for this place, to see if it's possibly to tie in this Ivey with Janet Brown.

If you notice the ages of the children of the block of spaces left empty, were all infant or juniors, thus may be that teacher wasn't available to answer the enumerator. You know Ivy would be able to speak English.

Maybe try "snail mail" to St Josephs Convent.  404 W 127th St, New York, NY 10027   (Queens. New York) They may have old records.
