Thanks

So can we delve into this somehow, assuming it's New Jersey?

The date of birth on that WW1 draft matches - U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 - Arthur C Neil - 23 April 1883 - Claim Date - 27 July 1955
Doesn't tell us what sort of claim - usually they say something like disability, death etc.,

It would be a bit of shock if he died in 1955 because his 1st wife remarried in 1920 claiming to be a widow. Any suggestions how I can research Arthur further in US records? I mainly use ancestry worldwide subscription but occasionally have found slightly different view on findmypast. Do these companies have access to different datasets? If he was NewYork area for entire US life is there a better resource for that area? I see new records are being added all the time. Also is it possible to view / buy copy US death certs?

ACN was born in London in April 1885

Father George Neil
Mother Mary Chandler but I can see where Devoil comes from, her 2nd marriage.

Siblings according to 1901 UK census:
George William Neil b. July 1882 London
Florence Eliza Neil b. April 1879 London
Sidney Herbert Neil b. April 1893 Chadwell Heath Essex UK

As far as I am aware Arthur Charles was the only one that ever travelled to the US.

Fyi I have also located a US WW1 draft registration card for a Arthur Charles Neil takes place in Onondaga, New York, USA. Has a relative listed as Edna Lucile Neil but I have no one by that name on my tree and I think it's pretty complete for the Neil's, could be a red herring?

Thx

Neil

I think that I have located a deceased relative within this index on Ancestry but without confirming info like his d.o.b, place of birth, mothers maiden name and spouse etc I cannot be sure if I have a match?

All that is recorded online is Arthur Neil 28th March 1918 Geneva (New York) and a number 16171.

Can anyone please tell me how / if I could locate these other details or obtain a copy death certificate.

Many thanks

Neil

P.s My earlier post is now closed but I do not know how to remove it from the active list if someone could also explain pls

I am just aware with ^(*) that if she still alive that she will be about 87, she is the only real link to the grandmother whom I met in 1970. if there is someway I could email her or a close a relative there are questions about my grandmother that I would love answered. Any info that you could obtain locally that could put me in touch would be greatly appreciated Thx
