Hi Rosemary, Thanks for your offer. Could you please check your US immigration and Census records for Amy Powell Proctor b 1865 Meriden,Warwickshire Eng and Frederic Locksley Woodhouse Lamsdale b 1859 Cradley, Worcester Eng They married 22 April 1885 Manhattan, New York. Also brother to Amy Alfred John Proctor b 1860 Meriden, Warwickshire Eng. Thank you Lea

Lea, Wasn't able to find Amy and Frederic but may have found Alfred on the 1900 census. Have saved the image for you. Just need your email address. Rose

Hi Rosemary, My grandmother was still living in this country 1926 when she was dissowned by her family for having a child out of wedlock. I have not found any trace of her but an elderly uncle seems to think she went abroard to live. Her name was Elizabeth Sinclair Dunford, can you help? Regards Marilyn

Very generous offer - I too spend more time these days looking up stuff for other folk as I've traced most of my own family back to the 1700s!! However, my grandfather had a sister called Mary Bull, born 1893 in Nantwhich, Cheshire, who emigrated to America 'to become an actress', an who was never heard from again by the family. She was known as Polly, rather than Mary, and I guess she was in the States by the 1920 census, definately by 1930 - any information you could provide would be fantastic and greatly appreciated! Mary Bull's parents were Alice and Caleb Bull, and the family lived in Staffordshire. Thanks for your time Regards, Julie

Marilyn, How old would Elizabeth have been in 1926? Rose

Ian, Too bad he married before 1850. Prior to that, only the names of head of household are noted on the census records and there is no indication of place of birth or occupation. Did he stay in England? I didn't find him on any of the UK census. I am not find his father on the US census either. I wonder if the entire Cliffe family went to England and not just John Henry. Rose

Julie, Not finding anything for Mary or Polly Bull on the immigration or census records. If she married or assumed a stage name, it will be difficult to find her. Sorry I couldn't be more help Rose

Ian, What's his wife's name and how old was she on the 1851? Any children? Rose

Ian, I am not finding John and Annie on the US census. I did see one immigration record for John Cliffe, age 30, who arrived in NY in 1858. Place of origin USA , occupation: gardner? Annie is not with him. He may have died in the US or UK prior to 1861 and Annie remarried. I don't see him on the 1860 US census. I guess for now, he will have to remain a mystery. Rose

Re. John Cunningham, Rose, I had hoped that the info. you gave me would have included his parents and perhaps siblings, I doubt if a three year old would be travelling alone, but I just don't know. The only other info. I have is that John was born in Rosscommon and took the Oath in Tippecanoe Co. Indiana. Many thanks for your help, Frank

Rita, Can you tell me when and where he was born? Rose

Francis, The Indiana reference helped. Sent you an email. Rose

Steve, Checked the WW1 Draft registration. Couple of Percy Moon's but not born in 1885-86. Not finding him on census record either. Rose

Steve, There are a couple born early 1890's but not in PA. On the 1920 there is a C Percy Moon, born in PA, age 28, son in law, living in Newtown, Bucks Co. PA Household Brown, Stacy B head Brown, Lorinia wife Moon, Katherine age 29, daughter Moon, C Percy, age 28, son in law Moon, H Audrey age 1 year, 5 mos all born in PA. Percy's parent's birthplace is listed as unknown. Just as an aside, Newtown Bucks Co is where the movie Signs was filmed. Let me know if you are interested in the census image. Rose

Thanks so much for your offer, Can you please find anything for immigration on James Rigby and his wife. James was born in the UK around 1826 and went to the USA date unknown but I did find him on the 1880 Census living in Perus Las Salle Illinois but by this time he was a widower with children John, thomas and Netty. I would appreciate if you could also find the family on the 1870 USA Census living in Illinois. Many thanks Katrina Australia

Dear Rosemary, You are certainly getting plenty of work to do! Could you check the 1910 US Census for Hanah Cottuli, please? I accessed it through Ancestry.com, but here was a fault with the page image, so I didn't get the details. By the time they fixed it, my subscription had expired... She was aged 73, lived in Winthrop, Suffolk, Mass. I'm especially interested in her country of origin, and anyone listed in her household. Thanks! Audrey

The rest of the family is enumerated according to sex, age, race, free or slave. I have saved the image for you. Send me your email address. I found an immigration record.

Rita, I am not finding them on the 1850. Prior to 1850 the only name that appears on the census is the head of household. The rest of the family is enumerated according to sex, age, race, free or slave. He may have left for Australia before then. Philadelphia births were recorded starting in 1860. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Rose
