US Lookup Requests / Re: American federal census lookup please . Elizabeth Leather

Hi Alan,

Im happy to add to your family tree, about what happened to Elizabeth Leather when she emigrated to the United States.  I would like to put more information about her on her Find a Grave memorial page, specifically what area of England in which she was born.

Did you want me to try and find her sister, Ada?

Today, I found the gravestones of Napoleon Demers and Elizabeth Leather Demers.

They are buried in Walnut Grove Cemetery, Methuen, Mass.

The Census information I have for them:

1920 Haverhill, Massachusetts.
Napoleon was 27, employed as a Shoe Cutter in a shoe shop.
Elizabeth is 27, employed as a Jack (?) Spooler in a woolen mill
The record also states she emigrated to the US in 1902 and became a naturalized citizen in 1914.

1930 Salem, New Hampshire:
Napoleon, 38, b Mass, Cutter, shoe factory
Elizabeth, 35, b Eng.

Their marriage record is May 22, 1914 in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
States that she was living on 14 Granite Street in Methuen, Mass., is 23 years old and employed as a Mill Operative. Also states that her parents are Joseph Leather and Mary Foster Leather.

I have placed their gravestone photos on www.findagrave.com, on a memorial page for each.
The page numbers are #182315202 for Elizabeth and #182315188 for Napoleon.

(I joined this forum so that I could reply to your inquiry. =)

The towns I mentioned: Lawrence, Haverhill and Methuen, Massachusetts and Salem, New Hampshire are all close to one another.   They were mill towns that attracted imigrants by the thousands at the time.
