I'm hoping to get help with finding details for my ancestor Kendrick Isiah Hopwood. Kendrick emigrated from Mold, North Wales during April 1894 & gave his destination in the US as Shenandoah, although I believe he may have ended up in Northumberland, Pennsylvania. Ancestry has attached 3 hints for census returns for the years 1910 -1920 - 1930 but as I don't have worldwide membership, I can't open the records to read details!
Any help would be gratefully received.
Many thanks - Carole

You can see the 1930 Census for free on footnote.com for the month of August. There is a good bit more detail on each of the census records than what was transcribed above. If I get a chance, I will give you further details or maybe someone else can.

Fantastic! ;D Thank you sooooooooo much. As I haven't found any other relatives (yet) who emigrated, it really isn't worth my while upgrading my Ancestry subscription to worldwide.
Thank you - Carole

There's also a possible entry in the Social Security Death Index for Frances Hopwood born 6 Jun. 1902 and last residence of Shamokin. You can see it for free at rootsweb.com or familysearch.org. Herbert is listed there as well.
In the 1920 Census, Herbert G. Hopwood is at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. He is listed as an ensign from Shamokin, Pennsylvania. His address in the US is 901 Shamokin Street. He was age 21 & single, born Pennsylvania, father born England, mother born Pennsylvania. I had never seen census records for military bases outside the US, so that was interesting for me.
