My Aunt Margaret (Maggie) Henry D.O.B. 20th Sept 1905 in Bedlington Northumberland. The family returned to Ireland around 1908 or just before. She immigrated to USA possibly New York, I don't know when but I know she was definitely there before 1932. She had a daughter named Maureen. Her husbands name was Eddie ??? surname may have been simmondson or something like that. She died in America possibly in the 1980/1990's not sure.

Hello Jeanette, did you already have a thread about her - will see if I can find it .....
.... it somehow sounds familiar
EDIT: Can't find one so I'm imagining things or it was deleted.

Jeanette, do you know if she married before or after she went to USA?
Can you give us her parent's names? - there are a few Maggie Henry's of a similar age so want to get the right one.

That's looking good Andy
Morpeth covers Bedlington:
Births Jun 1900 HENRY Mary Ellen Morpeth 10b 451
I'm not finding anything likely in the US 1940 that resembles what Jeanette gives as a surname.
Working through the shipping lists, there was one with father Michael (wrong name) that I'd come across previously so definitely didn't imagine a previous thread.

Following Anne's shipping find above, I found another record of Margaret on Alien arrivals detained. She was held until her aunt Delia Finnegan of what looks like 30 Schoffer Street arrived for her (she was only held 40 minutes).

To Anne Thank you for the information. This is without doubt my Aunt Margaret. I have been trying for a very long time to find her. I now hope to trace her daughter Maureen or her family. I have no idea who she married or where she lives but would be grateful for any information. Regards Jeanette
