If you are using Ancestry try Monaghar.  I have reported a transcription error

oooh ty Rosie, i wasnt expecting that as what a Carman was ty very much...

And ty very much too Carole!! bingo, thats why i wasnt finding him.. yup transcription error.. ty

I havent looked at him for a while, got thinking about him tho today, hes the last of his brothers and sisters I cant trace he seems to vanish after 1911 ... (Im thinking that he may have been killed in ww1... ) but... nan, had always told my mom... "you have an aunty in america" ... and as I have traced the lives of all his sibliongs, Im thinking, perhaps he married... and got killed in ww1.. his wife, ... could have then moved to america... thats the only thing I can imagine fitting this "you have an aunty in america"

Have you checked for a death on www.cwgc.org

I can’t see any marriage in Staffs up to 1920 but he may have married elsewhere
