Hi Kathy,
Thank you once again, I tried finding information in America but became confused
with the different states , and within them counties?Also social security numbers
are they used to identify people?.
I was surprised to learn you can look at a census for 1920, there the 100 year rule here.
Its seems strange that there is a gap in the information, what about death records I think he died 1976 aged 96years.
Would it be possible to trace any of the children, although that information usaually
found in the census?
The story is William went to America in search of his father who he believed was there his mother had told him his father was dead,however for some reason he did not believe her.
He must have had strong reasons to think someone in America and follow them I would have thought
The farthers name was William ,however on some records he called Richard.
he did not appear on the records for either 1881 and 1891 when William and his mother plus siblings were in a workhouse so may be he went to America after William birth in 1881 Could you look for me please I know its a long shot
