Hi Lorraine

I have a Uriah (Wriah) Tordoff born 1903 in Rhodes Island.
In 1912 he went to England with his mother Florence (Florry) Tordoff nee Buckley b 1881 Saddleworth Yorks . UK
In 1920 he returned to U.S with his aunt and uncle Ben F Buckley

Name: Uriah Tordoff
Arrival Date: 9 Sep 1920
Birth Year: abt 1903
Birth Location: United States of America
Birth Location Other: Providence
Age: 17 Years 4 Months
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/Race /Nationality: English
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Kaiserin Auguste Victoria
Source Citation: Year: 1920; Microfilm serial: T715; Microfilm roll: T715_2831; Line: 3; Page Number: 49.

I would love to know what happened to him after he returned to America as he was my grandads half brother. Thanks for any info much appreciated .

Hi Lorraine
thanks for looking for me. Why is it always the ones you really want to find that are so elusive!!

I know it says George was born in Wales but he wasn't - perhaps they just followed his mother's place of birth. I have his birth as Lancs from the 1901 census. Shame I can't request George's service record either.

Thanks once again for your help. It is much appreciated

Christine
PS as a long shot, and if you have the time, would it be possible to see if there is a death record for Anna and George?

only draft registrations are online, those not actually serving in the army but registered, usually those too old to serve or unfit, actual service records can only be applied for by those that are next of kin in usa.

cant seem to find him 1930

hi lorraine
thanks for looking it was a long shot
yes he was deceased on his son arthurs marriage certificate but being as we cannot find a death to fit we were thinking maybe alice had told them he was dead if he cleared off
thanks once again sharon

Hello Lorraine and thank you for your kind offer

Can you look on the USa military records ( probably WW1 I think)
for George Duce
born 1899 Southport, Lancs
He emigrated with his mother in 1904 and on the 1920 US census he is listed as a soldier in the US Army.

I guess at age 21 he could have been in WW1

I haven't been able to find him after 1920 but am listing details of the 1920 census for him below:

Name: George Duce
Home in 1920: Kingston Ward 1, Luzerne, Pennsylvania
Age: 21

hi lorraine

Thomas Silvey went to america 1886 , his wife Kate followed a year later with their 2 children,
John and George (thomas's brothers) follwed a few years later.
i must of made a mistake as to where james was in 1901,sorry.

thank you for your help.

sharon

another one that just disappears it s seems so frustrating !

have tried all combinations of spelling but can find in usa or canada nor a death for him in uk

did either of his sons marry it may be worth getting their marriage certs as it usually says deceased if the parent has died. but strange there doesnt seem to be a death registered for him in uk wonder if he went to scotland or ireland unfortantly i dont have records for those may be worth asking for a look up in scotland or ireland though just in case

mel

its only a card not a full passenger list detail all it says is

d scopez pannonia 36
a scopez pannonia 30

googled pannonia as i had never heard of it and this came up

Pannonia is an ancient province of the Roman Empire bounded north and east by the Danube, coterminous westward with Noricum and upper Italy, and southward with Dalmatia and upper Moesia. Pannonia was located over the territory of the present-day western half of Hungary with parts in Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Hi Lorraine,

Thanks for your previous information on the Scopez'. Further to D. Scopez arriving N.Y 16 October, 1921 onboard the Pannonia, can you tell where he departed from, as well as, you stated that there was another Scopez on the same trip, do you have a name for that person?

Thank you again

Lorraine
Thanks for your efforts, I will have to do more research on this one. Thanks again. John

Thank you Lorraine. Thats great. At least there was some other Scopez'.
