Hello!
I'm very new to the forum. I'm looking for ideas about where to find my ancestor.
It's tricky because he emigrated to Argentina and went back to England about 1899, and there's where I lose his track.
Charles Parker: born in Winchester in 1850. Found on 1851, -61, -71, -81 Census (Censi?) Married to Susan Perry (or Phillips from a previous marriage). Had 3 daughters, went to Argentina in 1889 (found in passenger list). Last records I have of him is the Argentinian Census of 1895.
From there on is just family information. Charles' grandson was told he went back to England in 1899 -with the purpose of bringing "more family" back with him- but died in an accident in Liverpool.
I can't verify any of this. I can't find "my" Charles Parker in any passenger list, leaving Argentina or incoming to England. There are a couple deaths with this name, in 1897 and 1898 but they appear to be locals. Nothing found on newspapers about an accident.
I believe Charles -if he went to England indeed- may have lived longer and even remarried. There's a Charles Parker in the 1911 census listed as visitor in Basingstoke, the age is 2 years off, but that wouldn't be uncommon, from what I understand. I suspect he went on to marry a Caroline Beale, widow, who he was apparently visiting the day of the Census.
But how can I be sure it is the same person? Is there any other way of verifying that?
How to find someone who was uprooted and turns up again?
Thank you all in advance!
