Hi Gins,
Looks like I will have to be patient until the 1940 USA census is completed. However could you possibly look at USA births and deaths. I have just been re reading a letter I had from a distant relative, in it she mentions that 2 of her brothers died one at birth and the other aged 6months. Their names were Joseph Slater born 1933 Philadelphia and the other William Slater born 1935. They were the sons of Harland and Lydia Slater.

Have you seen this?

Hi Margee,
The link you gave me above is from a distant relative who like me can get no further with the USA connections to our family,

Nothing on Ancestry for Joseph...sorry

Aw shucks! Thought I'd found a new relative for you!

Hey, I just clicked on your name. We're not connected, are we? Herbert Spencer's shop in Eston?

Hi Margee, sorry don't think we have a connection. Many thanks for your help though and same to everyone else who's helped.

Sorry, another Beverly Spencer but spelled Beverly.

You can check yourself - it's free

At least we can get a 1940 address from his naturalisation petition:

U.S. Naturalization Record Indexes, 1791-1992 (Indexed in World Archives Project)
Name: Harland Slater
Birth Date: abt 1891
Age at event: 49
Court District: Pennsylvania
Date of Action: 13 Nov 1940

He was living 3411 Crawford Street, Phil, PA.

Beverley, you never gave us his birth year and birthplace - does this fit:

U.S. World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1942
Name: Harland Slater
Birth Date: 14 Jul 1891
Birth Place: Yorkshire, England
Residence: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Was living 3413 Crawford Street. nok wife Lydia. Didn't have a phone but gave his neighbour called Fletcher's number.

He was employed by Collins & Aikman, 51st & Parkside Ave, Phil.

He was 5' 9" and weighed 200lb. Blue eyes, black hair and light skin.

What sort of connection are you trying to make? What are you hoping to find out (just so we know what type of records to look for - there can be some good info from things other than census).
