I've just found that my great grandmother's name was Charlotte Ivison Mitton. Searching further, I found that her mother's maiden name is Sarah Ann Ivison. Sarah married James Mitton in Manchester, England. As far as I can determine both families lived in the Greater Manchester, England area. In Dec 1887 Sarah & Charlotte sailed to Philadelphia, PA. Charlotte lived there the rest of her life.
Do any of you have relatives with the surname Ivison from the Salford, Ardwick, Manchester area of England? Jo-Ann
