Research Notes

We do not know what Lillian's last name at birth was, but one name that we have ruled out is that she was the same person as Lillian Maude Ceruti II (Ceruti-85). The birth dates do not match, but they may be cousins. Lillian Maude Ceruti II (Ceruti-85)'s mother, Lillian Wark Ceruti, sailed on the same ship, "S.S. Frances E." from Nassau to Miami on the same day as Lillian Albury, 1 Jun 1917. Both names are listed on the "foreign nationals" manifest. It was discovered that Lillian Wark Ceruti was a naturalized citizen, whose name looks like it was added to the foreign immigration manifest in error, as was noted in handwriting below the printed list.

We don't know yet if Lillian Albury also became a naturalized citizen of the USA, but it appears that she was not a U.S. citizen on 1 June 1917.

Albury is a well established name in the Bahamas.

It was attributed to "E E Ceruti." However, the name, "E E Ceruti," is not found anywhere on the original manifest document. This record was discovered by accident while searching for information regarding Eva Ceruti, (Ceruti-102).
