Thanks, Gert. The Andrew Fletcher (and family) that I am pursuing is the one offered up by lissa from the 1900 US Census. At 24 Mathias Street, he would have lived just a few blocks away from Alexander Fletcher on Sylvan Avenue. My line runs:
me
AEF (b. 1938)
Leonard Fletcher / Anna Critchlow
AEF (b. 1883, Barrow-in-Furness)
Alexander Fletcher (b.1839 Whitehaven) / Hannah Lancaster (b.abt 1840, Distington)
John Fletcher (no data yet) / Mary Lancaster (b. 1813 Winscales)
I'm only a couple days into this, so I'm sure there's lots more to sift through. I'm sending a email to my parents and siblings on March 19th to let them all know about AEF's 19 March 1902 voyage. So far, I'm the only one in my immediate family that knows where he came from and when he arrived.
Stephen
