 Immigration |
1915 - 1927 |
United States |
- There are a number of manifests entries for Philomena, the earliest being October 1915 when she was 19 years old. The manifest shows that she had sailed to Sydney, Nova Scotia on the SS Kyle and she later entered the US (by train?) at Vanceboro, ME. She stated it was her intention to meet her uncle "Louis" Rossiter in Bristol, Connecticut. (Her uncle's name was actually Luke Rossiter). It appears that he had paid her own passage. Luke worked in a clock factory and at that time was boarding at 94 Valley Street, which was the home of John J. and Margaret Fahey.
It is not known how long she stayed after 1915, but the next manifest shows that in September 1920 Philomena, this time accompanied by her sister Marcella, again entered the US headed for Bristol, Connecticut. (The manifest is not clear, but it implies that Marcella may not have been permitted to enter the US). They indicated that they had a contract to work there as waitresses for Harry Brown, prop. of the Endee House. There are indications from some manifest notes that Philomena may have left the US again in 1924.
Again in May 1925, manifests show that Philomena entered the US through Vanceboro, Maine. It appears her destination this time was Charlestown, Massachusetts where her cousin Mrs. Edward O'Neil lived. In 1927, she again sailed to the US from St. John's, via Halifax, on the SS Nova Scotia, after a temporary stay in Newfoundland. Again her destination was given as the home of her cousin Mrs. E. O'Neil, 71 Moulton St, Charlestown, Massachusetts. She indicated that she planned to stay in the US indefinitely, however it appears she did not actually became a US citizen until May 1954.
I believe the reference to Philomena's cousin should actually be "Mr." Edward O'Neill whose maternal grandmother was Margaret Rossiter. His wife's name was actually Mary Margaret (Murphy) from Ferryland and I cannot find any earlier kinship to her.
