Arc tbc.............Nelly Rapley COMPLETED

Postby SRD » Wed Oct 17, 2012 10:13 am

I have a Nelly Rapley, b 1877 in Hove, Sussex to Henry & Ellen. Census records for 1881, 1891 & 1901 then a passenger list Southampton - New York in May 1908. Then I've lost her.

Can anyone find her after 1908 for me please.

Thanks.

Might that be a shipboard romance? Can you find him on the ship's manifest.
Otherwise maybe she went out there to marry him, is there any evidence of him being in England before 1908?
Is there a record of that marriage?

I'm not sure that record for Nelly's death (with the birth at 1884) is linked to this Nelly
