Looking for Marriage of Elizabeth Mary Bray

[Colin Rowledge]

S.S. Campania, Liverpool - New York (arrived 12 August 1898)
Cocking John H (Transcribed as John A)
Aged: 20
Occupation: Carpenter
Last residence: St Ives
Destination: Turner's Falls, Mass
(The entry above John Cocking on the manifest is a Richard Bray, aged 20)

Another gem.

Must look at the manifest as Richard Bray does not appear to be a sibling of my Bray's.

How about:

S.S. Berlin, Southampton - New York (arrived 05 July 1898)
Elizabeth Bray, aged 24?
Last residence: St Ives (Transcribed as St Joes)
Destination: Turner's Falls, Mass

Age is bit off, but is definitely her. She is described as a Servant - could she have been employed by the Cocking family which is how she met up with John?

Age is bit off, but is definitely her.

Go on the assumption that ladies didn't usually like to disclose there real ages in those days

The entry above John Cocking on the manifest is:
Richard Bray
Aged 20
Occuption: Mason
Last residence: St Ives
Destination: Lake Linden, Michigan
(Coincidence?)

Coincidence? - I think so - the uncle in Michigan and his occupation [Mason] do not match any of my Bray line.
