Look up for Garfield Jenkin from Newlyn Cornwall to Pennsylvania USA
« on: Monday 30 October 23 15:12 GMT (UK) »
Hello I am seeking help to track a distant relative down in Pennsylvania . Garfield Jenkin was Born in 1892 in Paul Newlyn . His Father was a William Jenkin and Wife Jane . All I can find on him is a Death date of 1951 in Braddock Pennsylvania ?. So I am curious to know how he got from Newlyn to the US?
Since I am not subscribed to Ancestry I only have limited access to records and just found his Death in the US . If anyone can clarify me on Garfield's life in Penn I would be so grateful . Thanks.

Garfield Jenkin made a Declaration of Intent to become a naturalized citizen in Pittsburgh 1 Sep 1936.
The record gives dob as 20 Aug 1895 and birthplace Mousehole. He was single and living in Braddock Avenue, Braddock. He travelled to the US on the Oceanic 19 Apr 1911 , according to this document.
I cannot find a free image for you but familysearch has details of his Naturalization Card dated 1940.
