Yes MC and on the emigration record he is a weaver.....

Can't find any evidence of marriages to Emma/Esther (who may be one and same??) - perhaps because they couldn't marry - Hannah/Ann in England died 1915

But can't pick up a birth for Rosie or deaths :-S

The Peter Sewell on the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census is a mulespinner (cotton) - same as his occupation in England.

Highly likely the same man, just having trouble finding records .....

Lots of trees on Ancestry - all suggest he died around 1937 in Massachusetts but no evidence of this.

He emigrated alone in 1906. Is with Esther as wife 1920 and 1930 - she born England as well.

In 1910 in Providence there is a Peter Sewell with wife Emma (born England) and a daughter Rosie three months old. Don't know if this is one and same?

Peter was the Father of my Grandmother Nancy Sewell (married name Nancy Gray). I know that Peter sailed to New York from Liverpool on the Majestice 15th February 1906, leaving his wife and children in Oldham Lancashire.
He is listed as joining his cousin Thomas Cochrane, 99 Laban St, Honeywell Providence Rhode Island.
The 1930 US Federal Census shows him as head of house aged 66 with wife Ester 65. New Bedford Bristol Mass.
Would love to know more of his family in USA if anyone can help
