William James Smith Born 1880 Whitchurch Glamorgan
« on: Wednesday 18 April 12 14:28 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I am having trouble finding William on the 1901 census.  He is the first son of John Smith and Mary Davies and was born in Whitchurch, Glamorganshire.  His father had died in 1883 leaving his mother with 3 very young boys, William James (1880), John Richard (1881) and Jesse (1883).
I believe William emigrated to the USA in 1904 but would like to find what he was doing in 1901 if I have the right arrival it looks as though he was a barber or hairdresser.  If that is the wrong arrival  I have his Marriage in 1908  and have the 1910, 20 and 30 census showing him living with wife and children in Philadelphia.
 Can anyone find him in 1901, please?
Cheers, Abiam2

That's Ok I do have the widowed mother and boys.  She was left alone in 1883 and at the same time gave birth to a third boy.  On that census the eldest boy is staying with her father.  Must have been very hard and it would be understandable if WJD is boarding elsewhere.  It is not desparetely important I just like to finish things off.
Thanks for trying,
Abiam2
