Mary Josephine....

The US did not declare war on Germany until April 1917 so they would not have been in the First Battle of the Somme...The US II Corps. did take part in the 2nd Battle Feb-Aug 1918.but whether any Black Soldiers took part I have no idea.

"Mums dad was an American serviceman who was killed on the Somme"

As Nuns moved around from place to place perhaps Mary J came with them as a younger woman to help in the Manchester one.?

Kay ............

i honestly don't think she would be shown as "inmate" on the 1911 Census if that were the case.

Inmate implies someone who is not willingly there.

In your scenario, she might have been more liable to be called "lay sister" or similar.

Plus she travelled to the UK with her parents.

Granny Cook may not have been a relative at all, but just a family friend given "granny" as a courtesy title.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

If the passenger list entry is Mary J then between 1909 and 1911 she entered the *home* which was run by nuns of catholic faith,,,,,if a baby was involved there GRO shows 53 Daniles birth in Manchester,1909--1911.
