Hi Ree

Have you checked the US Census for 1930 and 1940?  This will give you a fair bit about this family in terms of ages, occupations and birthplaces. If you don't have access to these Census I am happy to transcribe what I can find for you.

Cheers

It's a long story..but The Patrick Slowey I am looking for in Detroit is my grandfather's father he married Ellen Prunty from Wishaw Scotland they had a son Francis and emigrated to Michigan Detroit around the 1920's.
Francis would have been my grandfather's half brother.

Several online family trees show that Francis SLOWEY died 6th Oct 1964.  No details regarding his marriage are shown.

We have had multiple previous threads on this family.  Most recently -  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=700802.msg5438481#msg5438481

Please try to lead with the information that you already have, or better yet, keep all information about the same people in one thread rather than starting a new one.  If people repeat the research that has already been done, it wastes their time and yours.
