Hi,everybody.Mary Ann was b.c.1871,Leadgate,Co.Durham,to Irish parents,Patrick and Maria.She is my Maternal G.G'Mother.Talking to an elderly,distant, family member just recently,they are convinced Mary Ann visited America,once and even possibly twice.Unfortunately they had no recollection of when or why.Is it possible to find dates,sponsors or anything relating to this account?

Yours,hopefully,Terry.L.

Can't find her in 1891 census.

The 1891 outward travel record I posted earlier would account for that.
