Possibility from the Illinois, Northern District, Naturalization Petition Index on FS.

According to the 1930 census he did naturalize.

There's also a baby Grace Perkin (age 0) in the 1871 census, with mum Grace and William. Not seeing a baptism for her yet. Unless she died before being baptised. Mum Grave never got round to baptisms quickly, did she?

ADDED --

As William married Charlotte Couch in 1892 was she his cousin?  ???

Brian - Have you checked Family Search? They have some US Naturalisation records with images.

Ancestry may have some, too.  Illinois, U.S., Federal Naturalization Records, 1856-1991

Also, as I stated in Reply #11 Elizabeth Aitken (nee Tidmarsh) was one of the witnesses at the 1885 Hancox/Manton wedding. So 4 years after the 1881 census there was still a friendship (or family connection?) between Harriett and Elizabeth Aitken.

There's a tree for him on Family Search, consisting of about 24 records. It includes the Sweden-related records, as well.

For example, here's his 1870 birth record. You need to register and log in to view the record.

Family Search is also good for US Passenger manifest records from around the turn of the century.

Can I suggest searching for newspaper reports. You might find a mention of the children being taken into care, along with the circumstances. Child neglect cases were reported quite often, back in the day.

Is this the family in question?

I wasn't expecting that, I thought maybe a type of flogging.

Oh dear...  ;D :o
