Bridget Frances "Bridie" Thorne

1898 - 1954  (55 years)

• Name	Bridget Frances Thorne  [1]
  	It appears that the immediate family usually referred to her as Bridie but on other occasions she gave her name as Frances. Her headstone records her as Frances B.
  Nickname	Bridie
  Born	20 Dec 1898	Torbay, Newfoundland   [1, 2]
  Gender	Female
  Baptism	22 Dec 1898	Torbay, Newfoundland   [1]
  Census	1921	St. John's, Newfoundland
  The 1921 Newfoundland Census shows that Bridget (age 24) and her sister Clara (age 22) were both employed as housemaids in the residence of Henry Carter and his family located in the St. John's East District.
  Travel	10 Nov 1921	Montreal, Quebec, Canada   [3]
  According to Bridget's travel papers, she was destined for Montreal, Canada to "take up work as servant" for "Mrs. Philip Hood". She wasn't specific about the address of the Hood family, but stated "he is manager, branch of Bank of Montreal and will meet"[me]. Bridie's nearest relative was her "father, Wm. Thorne, Torbay, Nfld".
  Immigration	May 1922	Pleasantville, New York, United States   [4]
  Bridie's application for admission to the United States indicates that she was traveling to New York to work as a nurse maid for Mr. H.C. McArthur, 22 Clinton St., Pleasantville. Again she gave her next of kin in Newfoundland as her father, William Thorne.
  Travel	18 Sep 1924	New York, New York, United States   [5]
  The travel manifest is somewhat confusing. It appears two branches of the Thorne family (likely a mixture of female siblings and first cousins?) were all travelling together. From what I can decipher, Bridget was recorded by her second name Frances (spelled as Francis - (sic), even though the individual was noted as being female). Frances indicated she had been in the United States twice before. Frances' point of contact in the United States was her aunt Mrs. Hirsch, 980 57th St, Brooklyn?? Her sister, Mary (Thorne) Reddy was also going to that same address. Mary's age is recorded incorrectly as 23, should be 33. Both show their next of kin in Newfoundland was their father, William Thorne, who lived in Tor Bay (sic - Torbay). The other three cousins? indicated their father was Richard Thorne of Tor Bay.
  Died	1954	New Bedford, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States   [6]
  Buried	1954	New Bedford, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States   [6]
  Address: St. Marys Cemetery
