Please help with the US records for this ancestor, if you can.

I have his BC and also the 1871 and 1881 census.

Then he emigrated to the States and I can see these records on ancestry uk but I cannot access them:-

We believe that he married a 'Nellie' but can't get any further with that, and perhaps children too? And I think that there should be some ship's passenger lists with him on them, too.

I would be very, very grateful for all help you can give on this one.

Thank you.
