Completed:Emigration 1904

[maryanne]

I found on a naturalisation site that a Thomas HB Yelland migrated from Southampton to NYC on the 7th May 1904 on the St Paul. I would like to know who he was with and where he was going to.Thomas came from Cornwall.
I am unable to find that date on the Ellis island site although I have traced on that site Thomas in 1900 when he was 19 years old.
Thank-you.

Hi Maryanne,

On the 1900 US census I have found a Thomas Yelland, born 1881, emigrated 1900, a copper miner boarding with a family in Calumet, Michigan
Also in Calumet is a James Yelland, age 34, his wife and family. (Including a son named Thomas) James emigrated in 1882 and is also a copper miner. I wonder if James is an uncle to Thomas?
Copper mining was common in Cornwall.
Maybe Thomas went back to England...changed his mind and went back to the US again!!!
Let me know if you need the full census transcriptions
Cheers,

Thomas lived and married in Michigan and this is why I am trying to find out more about the 1904 migration.

I have looked at the 1910 Census and  I see this Thomas Yelland living in Rockland Township, Michigan. He is married to Ethel and has two children Roy and Verna.  Do you want the transcription?

There is no other Thomas in Michigan that I can find.

I'm sorry...I'm confusing the issue.

The Thomas Yelland on the 1910 census is the same one who emigrated in 1900.

Let me know if you want him

I have looked for this family on the 1920 and 1930 census but with no luck.

Do you know were they lived at that time?

Hope this helps,
