Find Ancestors

I have found an entry of Edward Berriman born 1899 in Manchester, he is travelling from NY to Plymouth, in 1952, can anyone tell me his occupation please.

I think I have found him going to the USA in 1924, it says he is a textile expert.

Thanks
Sandra

MadBull does it say how long they have been married, I dont know if I should look for a marriage in UK or USA.

Thanks

He was a salesman. I think it says commercial travel in next column. A travelling salesman?

He's 31, was 27 at time of marriage. She's 29 was 25 at time of marriage. Ergo, marriage was 1926. He emigrated 1924, she emigrated 1925. So, marriage was in America, making it harder to find, right?
Children were both born Rhode Island.

He is supposed to have something to do with the developement of nylon, dupont, on the travel post you found of him in 1952 he is travelling first class.

Thanks for helping me.

The one who travelled in 1952 was a USA Citizen and his UK address had been -Maple Ash Cottage, Winterbourne, Newbury, Berks.

When he went to USA in 1924 I think he must have became a citizen, Dea was that the address he stayed at when he was here ??.

Thanks

Here in the UK before 1952 - It would seem so !!

The date of birth on the death MadBull found is correct, do you think the details of the 1952 travel fit in and match with that ??.

Thanks

It all seems to fit with Madbulls findings

Certainly the 1952 people travelling to USA in 1952 were the same couple who travelled inwards in the same year !

That was the same UK address quoted both ways.

Perhaps the library in Newbury could have a look at the electoral roll for you for more details|?

Thanks Dea, I will try that.

I just checked free bmd and there is only 1 Edward Berriman born in 1899, so I feel sure all this work is right.
