Mary Alice Emmott, 17 years old, sailed on the S.S. Vestris with her parents James Henry and Rebecca Emmott from Liverpool on 13 March 1920 and arrived at the Port of New York 25 March 1920.
I remember all 3 of these ladies. Edith was a staunch Republican and loved Nixon. Rebecca Emmott had a little black and white TV and we watched it together in her room. She gave me butterscotch candies which I still love today. My nana had a lovely accent and loved gardening and was independent. She drove my mom and aunt Donna across the country by herself back in the 1930s.
