US Lookup Requests / Re: How do I search for an ancestor that went to USA
« on: Monday 04 September 06 01:23 BST (UK)  »
Thanks so much for your efforts but I am quite sure that this is not my 'Thomas Thompson' as I know his descendants as I am his great-granddaughter. 

The 1880 Federal Census. Cottonwood Springs, Lincoln county, Nebraska lists the family of my Thomas Thompson so I know where he was in 1870, 1880 and the 1900. The hunt goes on.   Betty

US Lookup Requests / How do I search for an ancestor that went to USA

My search is for the passage of 1) Thomas Thompson born 1837-38 at Womersley, West Riding, Yorkshire, England, who went to the USA sometime after 1851, (is on this census) can not be found for certain on the US Federal census for 1860 YET is the father of a child born 31 Oct. 1861 in Iowa.

2) for a John Thompson, who could be Thomas's brother born 1829 at Womersley and is not found on the 1851 Census in England

3) for a William Spencer, Yorkshire, England who with the John Thompson above signed papers as to the fact that Thomas Thompson was who he said he was when transacting a land deal in Nebraska in the late 1860's

4) for a Joseph Thompson, who is listed on the 1880 Federal Census in Nebraska, USA, as the father of Thomas Thompson and is the age of 82. Thomas's father died in England in 1871 at Womersley and is buried there at St. Martin's parish.

How do I do this with such common names????
