England to Pittsburgh 1871
« on: Friday 24 August 07 15:16 BST (UK) »

I was wondering what information if any is available either on the journey or of their life in America of my ancestors as follows:

Walter Irwin & Maria Shakshaft married in England 28 Jan 1871, Cumberland.

They can’t be found on the 1871 census.

They presumably travelled immediately after they married & before the census.

With them were Walter’s children from his first marriage: Walter (born 3 Jan 1860), Mary Jane (born 9 Jan 1862) Isabella (born 21 Feb 1867).

On 10 Nov 1871 they had a daughter Matilda born in Pittsburgh.

On 18 Jan 1874 they had a daughter Catherine Ann born back in England, Co Durham.

So they came back sometime between Nov 1871 & Jan 1874.

And information would be appreciated.
