Almon SNELL in 1871... living or dead?

[aussiegalx]

GTMA.. I was just wondering if he took off to America.  They would have to get that name from somewhere.. Almond would be dead but what if that was his son from another marriage over there.... very interesting...

I am looking at Ancestry now then to see if he turns up in an 1870 census or something...

This is very interesting.  I'd LOVE to have ancestors that went over to the US hehe

Thanks again Kris, this is very interesting.

Sorry Jenny,

Looks like he is a no go. b 1864 Wisconsin parents James and Barber and James was born in America. Should have looked before I mentioned him......Kris

It's ok.  It is the thrill of the hunt 

It is just annoying when they hide though.  I wonder if he went to Wales, Australia or the US.  Or he may have been transcribed as just A or anyone...

Aww well maybe this is just someone that can't be found.  Maybe he didn't want to be.. he could have been hiding deliberately?

Anyway thanks heaps for looking for me.

I too have searched and searched- in fact thought I had sent a message which I cannot find- senior moment 

The 'Wife' status for Mary Ann has been overwritten by an entry by enumerator which looks as though it could be 'Head' - vaguely see the embellishment for 'H'.

I was also wondering if Almon is shown as the father of Absalom, the youngest child - just another 'proof' or otherwise.

will continue the search

It was just a thought- that' all- as Kris says- you would have him there till at least 1863 for the conception!

[aussiegalx]

It's a good thought.

I just wish I had access to the West Briton Advertiser or something in that time frame to see if there was any mention of the missing Almon lol.

Aww well... this is definately intriguing.

I appreciate all the help.
