Hello! I am hoping someone can help me with my great and greatgreatgrandparents. My greatgrandmother was Catharine Tear(e), daughter of Philip Tear(e) (b. 1821/2 - son of John Tear and Ann Kelly) and Catharine Moore (b. 1824 - daughter of Emanuel Moore and Ann Kennish). The Moore's were from Maughold. Philip was from Bride but they were married in Maughold. The younger Catharine was born in 1849 in Maughold and both Catharine's came to America in 1850. I do not know if Philip came with them or if he had died or they had divorced. I cannot find any divorce, death or burial information for him in either IOM or USA. I know they were not together by 1853. How might they have traveled to the US? Was there a "usual" port of embarkation? A predictable route? Port of entry in the US? I am making a trip to the Isle this July and am trying to gather as much information as possible before I arrive. Any input would be most appreciated. Thank you. MaryAnn
