A 1957 S.S. Santa Rosa passenger manifest lists Donald E. Ponceby and Helen M. Ponceby on adjacent lines as first-class passengers returning to New York. Helen M. may be Donald Edwin Ponceby's later wife after Catherine Mackie Horne's 1927 death, but no marriage or identity record has been accepted yet.
Still checking
Why this is not settled yet
- Was Helen M. legally married to Donald Edwin Ponceby, and if so when and where?
- Is Helen M. the same person as Jane N. from the 1942 Cleveland directory, or a later spouse?
- Can Ohio, Michigan, New York passenger, obituary, or probate records identify Helen's maiden name and lifespan?
Notes
Notes
- Lead created 22 April 2026 from the existing 1957 passenger manifest source.
- Ohio History Connection death-index searches for Helen Ponceby, 1954-1975, did not return a Helen Ponceby result on 22 April 2026.
- Cleveland Public Library CONTENTdm/API searches on 23 April 2026 did not produce a direct Helen M. Ponceby directory entry; public results pointed back to the already-ingested Donald/Jane Cleveland directory lane.
- Do not update any canonical person record based on this lead alone.
