Samuel and Agnes and their two children Stuart and Agnes Elizabeth are on the UK 1911 census in Norfolk, England. Samuel died 13 Mar 1925, Tacoma, WA. Agnes died 19 Aug 1943, Plymouth, NH.
Please can anyone find a record of their voyage to USA? I have checked 1920 and 1930 US census records and cannot find them. I think that Agnes Elizabeth later married a POTTER and died in West Chester, PA.
(The surname is sometimes spelled BRIERLEY, sometimes BRIERLY)

Hi Jonathan C
A Boston Passenger List 20 Sept 1937 - Liverpool - Massachusetts on SS Laconia stated Agnes was in the USA 1922 - 1932 in Wash. Had departed in 1932 to England - was now on her way to her daughter Mrs A E Potter NH - Campton.
There is also a UK Incoming - Agnes Campbell Brierley Born abt 1868 Age: 59
Port of Departure: Montréal, Québec, Canada to Liverpool
Arriving 28 May 1927 on SS Montclare going to 2 Little Bethel Street. Norwich. It gives no indication where she lived in the US

Thanks Sandra, you are much better than me at finding those passenger records!
(Sorry, just thinking aloud...)
So Agnes was in WA, USA from 1922-1932 (but with a break in 1927(?)), probably in England 1932-1937, then probably in eastern USA after that.
I guess I should have put DOBs in my original post:
Samuel c1861, Agnes Campbell 1867, Stuart 1891, Agnes Elizabeth 1899
