Here is some information as it pertains to my family Hedderson, Edison, Eddison. This is from the notes. Taken from the Ellis Island Manifest and Record about passengers was the following:
First Name: Mary
Last Name: Hedderson
Ethnicity: Irish, Nfld.
Last Place of Residence: Brigas, Nfld.
Date of Arrival: Sep 09, 1909
Age at Arrival: 22 Gender: F Marital Status: M
Ship of Travel: Florizel
Port of Departure: St. John's, Newfoundland
Manifest Line Number: 0021
Taken from the manifest (page 0627& 0628 Line 21) was the fact that she was going to John Hedderson(husband) at 324 4th St., Brooklyn. Mary had been in the U.S. between the years 1900-1909 and was returning. Her height was given as 5 feet 3 inches tall, with dark complexion, black hair, and brown eyes. It states that she was born in Brigus, Newfoundland.
On the next line was the name of her Daughter, May who was 1 year old. Also on the same ship, recorded on line 29 was the name of Hannah Hedderson, with the notation that she was the sister-in-law of number 21.
Was she returning from Newfoundland after the birth of her daughter, Hannah? Had she revisited parents/grandparents?
Mary Hedderson maiden name is pieced together from the information from the record of Michael Curren who also came to NY on May 25, 1910 at the age of 21 aboard the BORNU from St. John's Nfld.. He was born in Conception Bay abt 1888. He was single. He was going to Mrs. J. Edison(sister) and his father was John Curren of Conception Harbour, Nfld. (formerly called Cat's Harbour).
