So very excited (little things just send me over the edge...haha)

I have found a record on Caradog D. Walby - enlisted in the Army (my thinking for WWII) in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania.  Pretty neat seeing as just a few days ago I had no idea that this 1st cousin of my fathers even existed!
As soon as our holiday weekend here is over, I am going to register for another trial on ancestry.com to see how much more I can find out!

It's Walbeoff - and that is the area my grandmother comes from.  I found her birth record - Rhoda Walbeoff - mother's maiden name Price.  Bridgend District  11a 1729.  It is very possible that Caradog stayed in the states and died here (U.S.) - or may still be living.

You all are fabulous - I so appreciate the information!

Thank you to both of you - I wasn't able to find any of what you have provided.  Leonard just kind of dropped off the radar for me.  The Leonard in Carbondale, PA is most likely him.  It's very likely he had left Carbondale for a time since he ends up back there 4 years later with a wife and a son.  Just seems odd that he didn't list his wife on his first crossing to the U.S. as his home address.

Does that ship manifest give an age for the son?

It also looks as if I should maybe looking into divorce papers if Olive returned to Wales and he possibly remarried.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Hi - I am new to this so please bear with me.  I am trying to locate information on my grandmothers older brother.  He is listed as Leonard John Walbeoff on my Great Grandfathers naturalization  papers in May of 1924, but listed as whereabouts unknown.  He was the only son and the eldest child of William and Elizabeth (Price) Walbeoff of Wales.

His residence in 1901 (per a census), is Brynwawr, Breconshire, Wales.  He is listed on a ships manifest dated 05Mar1921 as coming to the U.S. destination Pennsylvania.  Lists his home address as England and his father as a contact.

The rest of the family came over via a ship called Samaria at the port of Boston on 25May1922.  They made their home in Carbondale, PA.  My Great Grandfather was a coal miner.

I have searched his name through ancestry.com and it is attached to several people arriving to the U.S. aboard ships by themselves.  He may also be going by the name Jack.

I also found a marriage license request in the 1st quarter of 1939 in England - listed his bride to be's last name as "Burden or Crabbe"

If anyone has any information or help with this I certainly would appreciate it     :D
