Please could someone with a US or Worldwide Ancestry subscription look up the following family for me?
Alexander Vernier Dufour b.1831 London
Sarah Ann Dufour b. 1825 Brighton
Sarah Marguerite Dufour b. 1857 Ramsgate, Kent
Isaac Grenville Dufour b. 1860 Brighton
Alice Ellen Grenville Dufour b. 1861 Brighton
We think the family emigrated between 1865 and 1871. We know that Isaac was naturalised as a US citizen in 1892 in New York. If you find them, any info would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Sarah and Jenny

Hi Lisa,
This is absolutely great info - thank you so much for your trouble as it has really helped us fill in some gaps in the Grenville/Dufour family. Sarah Dufour, nee Grenville was the elder sister of our forebear George Grenville. She was also the aunt of the famous portrait painter Reginald Grenville Eves. The National Portrait Gallery in London has a number of his works - we have recently been to see those currently on display.
Thanking you again,
Sarah and Jenny

You are welcome.

Sarah A. Defoar, born c1825, England. Parents born England. Widowed.
#107 (no street name given) was apparently a hospital. At this address: matron, 2 nurses, cook, 8 patients. Sarah is listed as a patient.
After seeing image, Dufoar could be Dufour.

Hi Sarah and Jenny: Not much to contribute, except to clarify that Staten Island, (one of New York City's five boroughs) and Richmond are one and the same place. That is, Staten Island makes up Richmond County, New York.
Regards,
John
