Ada Clements (General)
Hi
when my Grandma was alive she said that her Aunt Ada went to live in America.
Ada Clements was born in Popes Hill East Dean, Forest of Dean in 1880. In 1901 she was living in Nottingham with her mother Louisa and brother Albert Charles. Could anyone help me find out if the story is true and Ada Clements did go to live in America.
thanks
Steve Spencer

Hi Alison,
no I afraid I don't know if Ada was married before she went to America. The last record I have of Ada is the 1901 census when she as living in Nottingham. I have no proof she went to America, just my Grandma's story that her Aunt Ada had gone to America.

I checked the entry into States Sept 4, 1921 and they are on page listed as US citizens....List citizenship granted September 1917 in District Court of Boston. At this time they lived 3304 Washington St....Boston
She also came back into Boston Feb 27, 1927, by herself this time...James was still living at 40 Vinton St. South Boston
1920 US Census has her arrival date to States as 1912
Citizenship for James....Birth Sept 7 1883 in Nottingham England....Wife Ada....Occupation - Rubber maker...September 27, 1917. I also found his passport application....His father was Edward and his occupation was butter maker....

Well found, so I suppose that they had been back to the UK on a visit.
