Other Countries / george daniels- jamaica
« on: Tuesday 27 April 10 23:23 BST (UK)  »
i've found my great great grandad george daniels on the england census from 1851 to 1881 and his birth is as being in the west indies around 1823. i know that he was black and was said to have been a stowaway to england aged about 16. from family i've been told he came from kingston, jamaica.
this is totally new territory so i'm unsure how to find him further back than i have. i've searched ancestry but not turned up anything so any help or suggestions would be really welcome :)
from what family have said he was told to run away by his mother when some men came to collect on a debt that the owner owed . he was said to have wrote to his mother for a while but stopped because he was frightened of being sent back. also i was told that he had whip marks on his back. i'm not 100% on the slavery timeline so any help with this would be great

Lancashire / census help
« on: Saturday 17 April 10 14:07 BST (UK)  »
hi i'm needing a bit of help finding my great grandmother on the census records. i last found her on the 1891 census in atherton, lancashire then after that i can't seem to find her. there is an address in 1892 for the birth of her first child but she has moved on after as the baby died early the following year and is recorded as being in the sub district of trinity, district of preston, county of lancashire. her husband was an american from north carolina according to the census of 1891 and family stories have him as american too. my grandad was born in 1906 in berwick upon tweed and is recorded on the 1911 census as a visitor without his mother and according to some info from my mum's cousin she was in belgium in 1907 in a 'musical' capacity. any help trying to find out where she was would be greatly appreciated
