Can anyone help with looking up the following:
George & Sarah Du Puy, and son Lionel Du Puy.
Sarah was born in England in 1877 and Lionel was born in England in 1907.
They arrived with a relative, Bella Wood in USA in 1908 and the destination was Los Angeles. George Du Puy was already in USA.
Any info on if this family stayed will be a big help!
Pammie ;D

Thank you so much Valerie that is great.
I knew that Sarahs father & brother had gone for a visit in 1909 but didnt assume they had stayed in the USA. Wonder if I will be able to find them in 1920??
Really appreciate it..........thank you.

Hi Pammie
Unfortunately, I am having problems locating ANY of the family, Dupuy or Lomas on the 1920 census.
However, I did find the following on 1930
California, Los Angeles
DUPUY
George, Head, 53, marr 22 years, Eng, Eng, Eng, House
Painter, to USA 1908, Naturalized
Sarah, wife, 53, Eng, Eng, Eng, to USA 1908, naturalized
Lionel G, son, 22, single, to USA 1908, naturalized,
apprentice motion picture projectionist
WEST, John W., Brother in law, 37, single, Eng, Eng, Eng,
truck driver, to USA 1919, Alien
Perhaps the family went "home" for a visit?
Or someone else may have better luck with 1920
Regards,
Valerie :)

Hi Pammie
Here's another little bit...
California Death Index
DUPUY, Sarah
born 22 March 1877, other country
died 5 October 1955
Mothers Maiden Name: West
Fathers Surname: Lomas
On the California Vital Records site, I found a death entry that might be "your Edward."
Lomas, Edward P.
died 4/16/1927, Age 70
If this is him, where was he in 1920? Aaaaargh!!!

Thanks Valerie

I found a birth entry for Lionel george, see below.
DUPUY Lionel George Bethnal G. 1c 146 BIRTH SEP 1907
I have also found the marriage of his parents.
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
~~~~~~~~
Marriages Sep 1899
~~~~~~~~
Du Puy George Hackney 1b 1097
Lomas Sarah Eliza Hackney 1b 1097
As they were married in Hackney I would guess that they are related to my Dupuy family as well, as they all came originally from Bethnal Green and moved north to Hackney straight up the road and probably returned to Bethnal Green when Lionel was born.
Best wishes

I think the Dupuys are listed as 'Dupey' in 1920 Ancestry index, Los Angeles, can also see Edward P. Lomas b. 1846 there but not Edward P. Lomas Jr (maybe he returned to England but not his father?)
Unfortunately I don't have full access to the census so I'm not sure if the 'Dupey's and Edward P. Lomas are in the same household/area.

Here's the information from the 1920 census in San Antonio, Los Angeles County, California. They were listed as Dupey.
George Dupey Head 43 painter
Sarah E Wife 42 waitress
Lionel G son 12 student
George G Groves boarder born New York, parents born Engalnd clerk
John W West boarder 27 chauffeur
Edward P. Lomas father-in-law 74
Everyone was born in England except George.
Hope this helps.
