Found Edith's death registration in July - Sept 1906 - quite confident that this is the correct one - Edith Annie - this is looking a distinct possibility that William went to America and Gran went to Ireland with Granddad

It would help me work on Granddad if this is so

Thanks for all your help - I am not jumping to conclusions here am I?

The 1910 passenger list showed him with a wife Amy Jane aged 22 years. The passenger list has manifest markngs for both names - so they were both naturalized.

Roberts Markings are 16 -12479 looks like 6/16/41 - xxx (crossed out) = (16th June 1941)

Amy 23 -67987 - 505 2/3/39 = 3rd March 1939

Wonder if they divorced 

Also Name and Address of Nearest relative from Country Whence Came is :- Brother - Mr Greaves. 224 South Road. (Looks like Wallsley - could mean Wallasey on the Wirral)

Going to cousin:- Mr C Walsh. 1330 E 15th Street. xxxxxxx

If you would like a copy of this passenger list, please send me a personal message with your e-mail address. Maybe you can decipher better than I am.

Regards
SSandra

I am absolutley blown away by this - you've cracked it for me -this proves it is 100% the William that I was searching for - they are his parents
I cannot thank you enough for what you have done

I don't know what happened between Sept 1908 and 1910 but the result is that William went to America ( he's lost 5 years of age but they are his parents so it is certainly him)

I cannot thank you enough Sandra - to think I've been pondering this for almost a year and you have sorted it within 2 days.

Very impressed and grateful

Anne
