David HAYWARD b1835

[Liz_in_Sussex]

Thank you Sandra.

Would it be likely to give place of birth (i.e. more specifically than just England) on any American documents?  This is all quite new to me.

No, it usually just gives the country of birth

On the italiangen.org index, there is a death record in Brooklyn for a David Haywood on 28 July 1882, age 51 (Certificate #9706) - about a year after the accident referenced earlier.  This matches in most respects except for spelling of the surname and may be worth checking out.

You can order a copy from the New York City Municipal Archives:

Thank you everyone for the replies - I had to go out for a short while - and wow!  So much new to ponder on.  It wasn't unusual then for Hayward to be written Haywood - I suspect that death may well be David's.

What puzzles me is that if he went to America in 1863 he should appear on the 1841 / 1851 / 1861 censuses in England - but I can't find him anywhere.   

Thanks for all your help!

How do you know that he came to America in 1863?

[Liz_in_Sussex]

Ahh!  In fact I have just double checked and he was granted naturalisation in 1863 - he petitioned for it in 1860 - the documents are on Ancestry.

So that's why I can't find him in the 1861 census - I have what I think may be him in 1841 living with his parents and siblings in Burslem, Staffordshire - but unfortunately it doesn't give his place of birth other than it was out of county.  Still no sightings in 1851!  I am trying to track his siblings to see where they were born but they too are being elusive.
