Find Ancestors

Lorraine thanks so much. I just found out yesterday whilst seacrching that the Haighs had gone to USA.

Arthur and Hannah are on Ellis Island Passenger List arriving New York Mar 2nd 1915 having sailed from Liverpool aboard the SS Cameronia. They were going to join Harry Haigh in New York. Arthur is a Clerk, Hannah is a spinster/spinner (can't make it out). Next of kin in Huddersfield is father John Haigh of 25 Bankwell Terr, Milnsbridge, Huddersfield.

Arthur born 1893 Huddersfield was a Wool Mixing Clerk in 1911. Hannah born 1897. She is age 14 Woollen Weaver on 1911 census.

Don't know what Shenectady was like in 1915 but Milnsbridge in Huddersfield was pretty grim (still is in fact). You've heard of dark satanic mills well that was Milnsbridge!!

Thanks Jennifer

Hi Lorraine

I tried to post a reply earlier but it doesn't seem to have worked. If it has and I've missed it then apologies for duplicating.

That's the right family. By 1911 they have split up. The mother has remarried, David L and Winifred are in the workhouse, Jessie is with relatives and the father has disappeared. I can't find out what happened to him. It's all a bit mysterious and I know from family stories that something happened but can't get any idea of what it might be.

If you can find anything out about David L that would be great.
Many thanks

Sarah

i cant find arthur snr on the 1920 for some reason and no marriages for any of the children not all states have indexs on line though

Lorraine thanks for all that I shall inwardly digest,

I saw on the Ellis Island site that Arthur and Hannah were down twice and wondered why.

Have just been reading up about Schenectady. After Milnsbridge they must have though they had gone to heaven

Thank you for the Marriage look up.If you could'nt locate it
then it did'nt take place.Back to the drawing board!!
Regards,
Thelma,
O.Z..

Thanks for looking Lorraine. This family is so frustrating.

It's a long shot but if you have time can you look for him in Canada? His service record says New York but his sister Winifred Read married a Ukranian Tytus Skirsyk (that is how it is spelt on the wedding certificate but I guess it may vary) and went to Canada so I guess he could have gone there instead.

Many thanks

Sarah

Thank you very much for looking.

Thanks Lorraine that's really helpful. It does look like he went to the States

We didn't know Tytus was in the army - we thought he was a refugee.

Do you have any idea what this bit means?

Thanks again, you are very generous with your time.

Hi Loraine
You kindly tried to find one of my ancestors on the US census, and I now have another very vague request, not sure you will be able to do anything with such little information but thought it might be worth a shot.

I am trying to trace what happened to a Mabel Pearson born 1880 in Shanghai. I have her on the 1891 census in Angelsey, Wales. All I know about her is she apparently married a Richie Stanley and they moved to the US.

Vague I know, I assume she married around 1895 and have failed to find her on the UK records, can you help any

Thanks

Vicki

Hi Lorraine
I have a Samuel Lee Branton on the USA census up to 1900 living at Omaha Nebraska. aged 78 years
he came back to the UK for a visit and is on the 1901 census then returned to the USA in 1901 as shown on the passenger lists, would it be possible to find a death for him
Thank you
John

Hi Lorraine

I am trying to track down Charles Gray/Gray born 1847 in Winterton, Lincolnshire. Last known to be with his parents in 1861 then he disapears. I was wondering whether you may be able to find him in Canada.

His Mother was Ann Gray nee Hollingsworth and father was George Gray/ grey

thank you very much

Jane
