Find Ancestors

I have a Jonathan Ayrton bc 1839, Burnley Lancashire, that seems to have emigrated to USA around 1890. His spouse Sarah Ann b 1843 Whitley, Barnsley is recorded in the 1891 census, married and living in Dewsbury with her children Mary Ann 1869, John 1871, Joseph Henry 1874, Emma Turner 1877 and George 1882.

Ancestry is teasing me, suggesting Jonathan and the children are recorded in the 1900 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania US census. Without word access, I am unable.

Would some kind person please let me have any detail on this families' movement to and within the USA. Thanky you

Woodie
