Ellis Island Passenger Lists
Whilst searching for information about our relatives, I came across these crossings to New York that were made by Frank Oliver Stables (b. 1876, Manchester). These are taken from the lists of passengers who passed through Customs & Immigration at Ellis Island[1], New York between 1890 and 1924.
Frank Oliver’s father, Joseph (b.1845, Barnburgh), was a Tea Traveller (i.e. a tea trader/dealer) and I thought initially that his son might have made numerous crossings to New York, as part of the family business. However, the 1901 census shows that Frank Oliver had a glamorous job as a Velvet Salesman.
Jessie is listed as female, and judging by the fact she travelled with Frank, was presumably Frank’s wife. She only appears to have accompanied him 5 times.
Frank made 17 crossings to New York over a 20 year period and it appears that both he and Jessie may have actually lived in the USA for part of that time. In the 1881 Census, Frank Oliver was a schoolboy living with his Father and Mother, Sarah Jane Dey, in Doncaster.
