Donator's notes: On June 6, 1914, my grandmother, Rose Lily Colsell, aged 17, embarked upon the U.S. Mail Steamer, "New York," of the American Line leaving from Southampton to New York via Cherbourg. For her, this was to be a summer trip with her employers back to their home in Washington State. He was Mr. Ben Allen, the American Ambassador to Great Britain. My grandmother was Nanny to the family's two young sons. By the end of the summer, Ben Allen was told that war appeared eminent in Europe and that he was not to return. Although, my grandmother was only in this country on a temporary visa as an employee to this diplomatic family, it was decided that she would be safer remaining with them in the United States.
They took up residence at the family's summer home in Woodland, California. Later my grandmother took a job working in the Tuberculosis Sanitorium there. In 1918, she met and married my grandfather. Both of her brothers were lost in or shortly after The Great War and her only sister ran away from her husband and disappeared, never to be heard from again. My grandmother never returned to Great Britain. As happened to many in those days, the circumstances of her entry into the United States as a maid meant Grama had no citzenship or naturalization papers. Thus, Grama lived as an illegal alien in the United States for 46 years raising three sons who all served proudly for the United States in WWII. All this time, she lived feeling a very real shadow of fear that her secret would be learned and she would be ejected from this country never to see her beloved family again. Finally, in 1960 during a family vacation trip to the Seattle World's Fair, Grama found the courage to cross the border into Canada, go to the consulate, get her proper papers and cross back into the United States once again to become a legitimate US Citizen. She kept, and so have I, a copy of the List of Passengers from her voyage to the New World. My grandmother is merely listed as maid.(See "Allen, Mrs. And Maid" *) Please visit my website for more information HomepageThis list was generously donated by Jana Black Formatted by Sheila Tate for the Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild 6 February 1999
