Hi.
Ben Gomersal married Nancy Barrow 28 Sept 1878 on Prestwich.
He is Benj in 1881 census with one child Violetta
1891 census, ELLEN is widow with Violeta (4...) and Charles 2
No sign of a Ben Gomersal in deaths anywhere.
Plenty of scope for spelling errors/alternatives....
Any help much appreciated.
Phil
Thank you

You can find the US federal census records for free on familysearch.org.
Lots of vital records for this family there as well. Various children's records here - http://www.rootschat.com/links/01kcc/ Wife Nancy's death here - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X6Z3-ZZP
The Toledo library's obituary index has many of the family members listed - http://obits.toledolibrary.org/obits/ Some of the Toledo newspapers are online at Google News Archives - https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=8_tS2Vw13FcC

Simply incredible. I just did not realise what was available, especially the free US census info from familysearch.
Thank you for all the links - it's of an enormous help.
