Matthew Mills - Emigrant to USA

[Lloydy]

My G G Uncle Matthew Mills was born in 1859 Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire.  He was a painter and glazier.  In the 1881 census he was living with his mother Jane & stepfather in Llanidloes but by 1891 there is no trace of him.  There is a possible marriage to a Sarah Lloyd bt, as yet,  that is unconfirmed.

I am assuming then that somewhere between 1881 and 1891 he emigrated to the USA and would be extremely grateful if someone could direct me to the right places to try and find him!!!!

HELP HELP 

Thank you

I checked for Matthew Mills in the 1900, 1910, 1920 and the 1901 census and found none his age or from overseas.

Sorry.

Thank you very much for looking up Matthew Mills in the various US census.  I've hit a brick wall here, think I will have to get back in touch with my cousin who originally told me that he emigrated to the USA.  Much more information is needed!!!!!!!!

I've just had one final thought - if he spelt his name Mathew (with 1 T) would that have made a difference with your search? 

Kind regards
Jan

Thanks Hoka for looking up the two Mathew Mills in the 1910 US census.    Could you just confirm the following for me please:-  where it says how long each Mathew has been married, next to that it says US 1879 (& 1884).  Is that the year they arrived in the USA?  if it is I can rule out Mathew No 1 because he is in Wales in the 1881 British Census.
