Title: Look up request - Holdsworth G Rastrick
Post by: cass75 on Sunday 25 April 10 19:21 BST (UK)

Can anyone help me find a Holdsworth Greenwood Rastrick (surname could also be spelt Raistrick) born 1852, England and his son Charles Herbert Rastrick born 1887, USA, arriving in England between 1887 and 1891.
It's possible he could have been travelling as Greenwood Rastrick rather than Holdsworth.

Many thanks

Looked under a number of different spelling variations but nothing in that time period unfortunately on incoming passenger lists.  Other entries but not the one you want  ???

Ok - thanks for looking for me.

It's a bit of a mystery. I've found him on the 1881 census living with his wife and son in Bradford, then he arrives in New York on 16th May 1881.  In 1891 he's back in Bradford living with the same wife and a four year old son whose place of birth is given as Iowa, USA.

Do you know if the incoming passenger lists are complete or are there known to be parts missing?

It does say this on Ancestry re the incoming lists

.....many of the pre-1890 lists were irregularly destroyed by the Board of Trade in 1900. Therefore, there are not many lists included in this database that date from these earlier years.

So possibly just been destroyed.
