Hi All,
Hope someone can help me with this!
The Tracey Family in question are:
William Daniel Tracey b1876/78 Liverpool, Lancs, England & d? Brooklyn, New York, USA
Emily Florence Tracey b14th July 1880, Liverpool, Lancs, England & d? Brooklyn, New York, USA
Colin Gordon Tracey b4th May 1917, Liverpool, Lancs, England & d28th July 1993 New York, USA
William Daniel seems to have travelled across 2 or 3 times between 1918 & 1920 as i have 3 passenger lists for him, Florence & Colin followed in 1925 & i have that passenger list as well.
The 1930 US Census has the 3 of them in Brooklyn, Kings County, NY (Districts 1251-1500), i only have a printed transcription of this one, so don't have an actual address for them!
This is where things get a little tricky!
On a family tree i found, Florence was shown as having died in 1931 in Buffaloe Bay, USA. I have since found Florence on the 1940 US Census & taking out US Naturalization in 1943, so the tree must be wrong unless they were naturalizing ghosts! lol
1940 US Census has them at 2563, East 27th Street, Brooklyn, NY, with William Daniel listed as a Carpenter, Industry shown as Steamship. Florence is shown as Emily Florence aged 59 with no occupation. Colin Gordon is 22 & shown as being a distributor & industry shown as Motion Picture Film Company! I wonder what he did exactly? Colin is also shown as being married but no wife shows up with him. Could sks possibly find a marriage for him probably between 1935 & 1940.
All 3 took out US Naturalisation in 1943, Colin Gordon on 12th Aug 1943 & still at the East 27th Street address, but Florence when she did hers on Dec 16th 1943 was residing 4677 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, NY. I have the Nauralisation cards for these 2. However i did find one for William Daniel also in 1943 but haven't got the card for him & i don't have the date of it to hand either. If anyone can help with this record it would be appreciated.
Finally the death records of William Daniel & Florence Emily, which i have not been able to locate. both died sometime between 1943 & 1962 when i believe the US social security numbers started. The family tree that had Florence Emily dying in 1931 (which is quite obviously wrong!) also states that William Daniel died in 1953 but doesn't say where. However with one wrong it is quite possible that the other could quite well be wrong as well!
Sorry if this rambles a bit, quite a bit of info fit in!
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
David
