Reply #5 from fiddlerslass gives Vladimir’s wife as Dagmar Elizabeth.
Where do you have the information that she was Glaphira Ushakova?

There are a few articles on the Internet with regard to workers from Bolton and Oldham going to Russia to work in the mid/late  1800s.
If you look at censuses you will see Russian born including Boardmans.

In 1921 the family are living in Oldham - Walter and Dagmar, are the parents with young George and Dagmar. All born in Russia.

I wonder if Vladimir/Walter’s parents were working in Russia when he was born. If they originated in Oldham or Lancashire it could be through cotton industry or engineering industry.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Ideas on tracing four Staffordshire brothers, possibly gone to USA

He would have time between 1868 and 1870 to emigrate to USA - perhaps the bankruptcy proceedings were a catalyst for his moving. It looks as though he then used his father’s first name and his mother‘s maiden name as an alias for whatever reason – maybe the bankruptcy.

My reply #1 - Herbert in Trenton, N J.he is a potter.
Trenton Historical Society mentions potters from Staffordshire. 
https://www.trentonhistory.org/His/Foreign.htm

The brothers may have intended for their families to follow but that did not happen for some reason. You never know.

Just had a quick look at newspapers snippets and it looks as though Trenton potters were on strike in 18o4 and were supported financially by Staffordshire potters. There must have been close connections with the two areas.

Family Search has census and other records to check.
There is this Herbert Carnell in New Jersey in 1880
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MN8N-9DX?lang=en

There are other family records for him.
