Emigration look up please - Greaves - COMPLETED

[ronnoco100]

I've checked the Wiliams on the link but I don't think any were him - I have found he had a brother Robert - could be the RB that was mentioned earlier by Sandra - maybe that explains it

Hello Ronnoco


Have you got the date of birth for Robert Greaves please ?

regards
Sandra

[ronnoco100]

It appears to be July- Sept 1877 - but I've just found him on the 1901 census married to Edith with a baby son James = no idea why I haven't found him before
Thanks for your interest Sandra

No problem Ann - is he on the 1911 as well    That would mean we were still hunting for William 

Regards.

No - I've just checked - there are 6 possibles but none fit with place of birth or wife (is that a yippee moment)

[*Sandra*]

Its definately not a grrrrrr moment - keeps the passenger list as a possibility.

This would match Robert and William  (age just slightly out for Robert) If you can find a death record for the first wife

Robert B Greaves 40 Born England Immigrated 1909. Superintendant Insurance Company. Naturalization applied for
Helena Greaves 43 Born Iowa but coloumn on Naturalization should be empty and it says AL - which is Alien. So the birth place could be an error.
Katherine Mullaney 18 Step-Daughter
Ethel H Greaves 4
Mary F Greaves 3
William Greaves 34 Born England Immigrated 1910. Brother. Janitor. Office Buildings.

Just worked out why she was an alien - parents were born Luxemborg and Germany so she had'nt appied for Naturalization.

Unfortunately the wife has passed away by 1930 - so no more clues.

Grrrrrr.  Can't be this one - this shows him with a wife and looks like he is from Derby. Sorry.
