Wondering is anyone can do a lookup in the 1911 UK Census for me:
Name: Albert CLARKE
Age: 24
Occupation: Turner Iron Works
County: Shropshire
Born: 1887
Birthplace: Dawley
I believe this Albert is my Grandfather, who immigrated to US in 1916.
Thank you in advance.

Could you tell us who he married and where he was living in the U S also his occupation in the U S and if you have his birth date ...The more information you give will be helpful to find his parents

There's another Albert Clarke born Madeley on 1891 , so this may be the one who died , there's a war record that gives Madeley as his POB ,

Wow you guys are the best!!
The 1891 Census looks like the one!
(also thanks for the restriction info on the 1911 census....I wasn't sure about that but posted question anyway - thought maybe someone could have access to film)
Albert came to US in 1916 and settled in New York. Married Harriett Erdmann in 1918. Had my dad, Albert Clarke in 1919. Albert Sr. died in the 1950s here in NY.
I've just broken through a brick wall!! Thanks to everyone!!! :)

Is that your Albert in the 1930 census occupation machinist ( divorced )?
also in 1925 Census occupation the same with his wife Harriet and son Albert
-
I believe that the Albert I am researching is the son of Samuel Clarke and Mary Garbett. I saw a certificate with Mary's maiden name but couldn't make out the handwriting until now.... Garbett fits!
Did you see a tree for this branch?

Yes my Albert was listed as a machinist. He and Harriet did divorce early on. I believe you found two relevant records.

Yes there are a few tree's with that information with his death which is obvious wrong as I think I have found him arriving New York 11/9/1914 ..on board ship Celtic
Albert Clarke age 27 Born Dawley occupation machinist said he has been in the US before 1year 8 months going to Richmond Hill New York
So this looks like him in the 1915 New York state census living Waverley Place New York Queens
Thomas Clarke Head age 40 born England occupation Steward Rep Club
Kate Clarke Wife age 34 born England both been in the states for 8years
Donald Clarke age 12 son born England
Vivian Clarke age 10 daughter born England
Albert Clarke age 28 brother occupation machinist
His Brother Thomas born 16/12/1874 Shropshire on US Naturalization Records arrived 1906 new York lives Richmond Hill .
His marriage 15/2/1903 Dawley-Parva Shropshire to Kate Morgan father Samuel Clarke
So looks like we have the right Albert after all ;D ;D

So, not only did you find the right Albert, baptism records, and more, but you also found a brother in Queens, NY!! I must say, I am stunned. I always thought he came here and was alone. No one ever spoke of an uncle here in the states. Wow. Can't thank you enough!!
I have tons of leads to get to now. Cheers!! ;D
