Please could someone look for Frank John Bacon b 1864/5 Islington.
He was in England for the 1901 & 1911 censuses & had a child born in England in 1905 so would imagine he was in America between late 1901 & 1904.
In 1901 he was married to Sarah but in 1911 he was a widower & had a woman called Emma Jane Langford living in the household.
Details from the 1911 census would also be much appreciated (living in Dorset with children Winifred, Ella, Douglas, Vera, Beryl & Noel)

Thanks very much.
It´s later than I thought, but have a feeling he went several times.
He was pretty well heeled as he left over 25 thousand when he died.

Thanks Vera.
He must have lived at that address for years because he died there in 1955.
