Trying to find a William thompson 24 on 1930 census in america back in uk

[fishy]

Hi everyone,
I have a 193O Census of Montgomery Pennsylvania Where one of my Gt Grandmas  sisters emigrated .in 1906 
 This is the family:-

William Thompson  Head  age 49 born England worked as a Engineer at construction works.
Bertha B H  "          wife    "    48   "         "      not working     
William       "           son    "    24   "         '       worked as a Clerk      "         '             
 
Emily          "      daughter      22   "   New York       "      " Secretary      '  "  '     
Winifed       "           "             19       New Jersey   not working       
Evelyn        "           "              11      New York           "                   
living at Valley view road
On the 1901 census Bertha was living at home with her sisters her parents had both died, she was 17 a cotton weaver. they lived at 13 Alfred street Hyde Cheshire .
Would appreciate any information if at all possible thanks.
Thought perhaps  William or others may have come back to England after 1930 sometime

Hi,
I posted on the USA thread re Winifred and Evelyn in 1940 census so they at least stayed there.

If this was 1930, and she emigrated in 1906, then it must have been about tne time of William (age 24) 's birth.

So did she marry William in England before she emigrated?  Looks like it, as son William bn England.

You havent given us Bertha's maiden name - I am assuming the 1901 census for her in Hyde was before her marriage?

Have you found their marriage in England on freebmd?  Marriage cert would then give you a fathers name for them both.

How do you know that the Bertha Cottam in 1901 is the correct one?

There are  baptisms for:

Bertha Cottam  26 September 1883 Oldham, Lancashire, England parents John and Mary

Bertha Cottam 13 June 1894 St Anne's Church, Haughton, Lancashire, England parents Harrison and Elizabeth

Bertha Cottam  18 June 1884 Bolton, Lancashire, England parents Thomas and Mary Jane

Here is the USA thread for information http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=661254.msg5068138#msg5068138

Re. Bertha in 1901, fishy has given the address which points to the family you have Heather

[lizdb]

The Bertha on tne U S census appears to have middle initials  - Bertha B H

'Your' Bertha, on all censuses, and birth index, and christening, is just Bertha.

Why do you think the Bertha B H Thompson is 'your' Bertha?
