This is a long shot, but could some kind soul do a migrant check on:

Frank AYERS or Frank MANSELL, born in Hereford, Herefordshire, England in 1876 but living in Mountain Ash, Glamorganshire, Wales in 1891.  Born as MANSELL but mother subsequently married and it is believed Frank took the name AYERS.

If no migrant check, perhaps there is a possibility in 1900 or 1910 US census.

Any help, even a "no trace", greatly appreciated.

1871 Census entry:

RG10/5210/39: Midgeholme

Philip BELL - Head - M - 50 - Joiner - Cumberland, Upper Denton
Margaret BELL - Wife - M - 44 -  - Cumberland, Upper Denton
Jane BELL - Daughter -  - 13 -  - Cumberland, Upper Denton
Anthony BELL - Son -  - 11 - Scholar - Cumberland, Midgeholme
Margaret BELL - Daughter -  - 9 - Scholar - Cumberland, Midgeholme
John BELL - Son -  - 4 -  - Cumberland, Midgeholme

And this may be Philip's demise:

SEPTEMBER 1895:
BELL  Philip  78  Haltwhistle  10b 224

Haltwhistle is a few miles only from Midgeholme: right on the Cumberland/Northumberland border.

Thanks Gwynne; could I just confirm with you though that Joyce, who was widowed by 1861, was married to a James?

That confirmation would help enormously as it means I can tie them to a sibling of my direct ancestor.
