New York Passenger Lists - Gribble

[Barbara Wilkinson]

Would some magnanimous person with access to the New York Passenger Lists 1820-1957 please check something for me?
I have been told that Tobias Gribble arrived New York on 25 July 1879 from Bristol and am keen to know if his wife Catherine was with him.
Actually she may not have been his wife - I cannot find a marriage - although she claims to be on later census information! She could be Catherine Jane Moyle, born Cornwall 1858.
Thanks!

According to the Castle Carden website

http://www.castlegarden.org/about.html

Tobias GRIBBLE a miner age 32 Male landed 25 July 1879 from the ship Somerset. From the port of Bristol. His destination says 7328 but I cannot find anything that tells me what this code means.

Catherine GRIBBLE age 21 Wife. landed 25 july 1879 from the ship Somerset. From Bristol Destination 7328.

Hope this helps

Thanks for that Julie - the other one is probably his son who was left behind in Cornwall with his grandparents when Tobias and Catherine went to the USA. Was there any sign of Catherine? They had 4 children in Colorado and then Catherine returned to Cornwall without Tobias.

Thanks for Julie and Ladkyis - who must have posted whilst I was replying to Julie - I did not know about that web site, thanks!
And Julie - sorry, I was so excited to see the other Tobias that I completely ignored Catherine in your original post! My apologies!

Hi Barbara,

There are 6 entries on the incoming passenger lists for Tobias Gribble (mining engineer) born abt 1877 (would he be Tobias jnr, even though the yob is slightly out) between the years 1919-1927 he also has a wife Catherine and 2 entries for Carlos Tobias Gribble 1 born abt 1911 and the other born abt 1940. Are these yours?

They could well be!
I have only just started to follow up this family - Catherine, the elder Tobias' wife - is a cousin of my 2x great grandmother - and I have reached a bit of a brickwall with these Moyles because every second person in the area seems to be called Moyle and I am having trouble sorting them out!
Tobias, born 1878 (ish!), was left behind when Tobias, the elder, and Catherine went to the USA and lived with his grandparents until Catherine returned to Cornwall in time for the 1891 census. I cannot find him in 1901, so it looks possible that he went to the USA - to join his dad, maybe? I would be interested in the details, thanks!
