I am trying to find Charlie/Charles on a census.

Maggbill, maybe the 1920 John could be found on an earlier census, which may give more clues?

Hi Sandra,

Sorry - I don't follow what you mean
"Have you tries the e-mail links in the earlier reply, someone else is getting a response from them."   I am not sure what you mean.... mind you when it proves to be such a hard one to follow through with, I sometimes feel like I am going around in circles... LOL....    But there again, that is what "Rootschat friends" are for... to keep us on the straight and narrow !!

Hello Maggs,

That looks a better, safer option which shellyesq has put on for you.

I have just received this information which came from the Ask A Librarian section New York Public Library and wondered if it could help you at all (it was sent to someone I was trying to help out) :-

Hi Maggs,

It was the histref@nypl.org link I mean't to see if they could give you any information off the birth certificate for Jane.

The passenger list I mentionned with a Jane of the wrong age also has a John Barron - infant listed

Infant John Barron is travelling on the State of Florida and also a Jane (aged 26years)

Hi Lisa,

On 1910 census, I have found two John Barron(s)..

First one, in Newport Rhode Island, John, age 28, born Scotland (also parents) Wife Ella (born in New Jersey), Working as Gardener, but arrival year in US seems to be 1902.
Second one John A. Barron age 33, In St. Louis Minnesota, working as a typesetter, born Scotland - but arrival year again, not right - 1886...

Neither of them seem right....

Great work Sandra...

Hmmmm.... The Ances.com ..... transcription has Jane Barron listed as age 2 (!!!!), - but it certainly seems to be our Jane - and the "infant" name looks like "Jno"..... but this looks good! 

Wow, I am quite overwhelmed by the support of everyone - loads of input and help..... Thanks a million - one and all!

You mentioned Thomas' father-in-law referred to him as Patrick.  Perhaps his name was Patrick Thomas or Thomas Patrick.  Maybe he might be found on census records as Patrick?

I cannot find Charles or John on the WWI U.S. draft cards.    Could the family have gone back to the UK?

Sorry, I have to get ready for work now.

Thanks Lisa. Have a great day 

I would imagine there may be other children as well that are'nt showing - we have 1880 John and 1882 Charlie, then 1891 for Jane.

Also missing is the passenger list for Thomas Barron.  Just drawing blanks again
