Have now read the intro to the book, and apparently 'np' means 'no place', as in birth town unknown!!  Thanks anyway...........

Thanks both for your suggestion.  It's in a humourous book about strange names, which my husband is reading.  I thought it was probably 'not proven' but thought I'd try my friends on RootsChat!!   Thanks again - if anyone has another suggestion will be glad to receive it!

This is probably a very basic question - but could anyone tell me what 'np' stands for before a Birth date?

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Incoming passenger lists from USA

Thanks Stonechat - I doubt if either of these are the Thomas Rees we are looking for.  For one thing we know he didn't have a middle initial - and he definitely wasn't a clerk.  The other one is also unlikely as he was into tin & copper working, not carpentry.  Thank you so much for your trouble though.
Since I posted that query, we have found that 3 of his brothers also emigrated to the US:  William (c 1857) went over in 1892 on the Adriatic.  At some stage he returned to Swansea, his home town - because in 1902 he was returning to the States as a US citizen on the Germanic.  His brother John Rees (c1854)went out in 1894 and Thomas & brother Phillip(c1853) travelled over together in 1895 on the Saint Louis.  We know that William & Thomas both eventually returned home to stay - not sure about the others.  If you have the time, and could find any of them for us, we should be so grateful.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Incoming passenger lists from USA
« on: Wednesday 02 May 12 16:57 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know please if there is a free site to check incoming passengers to UK from USA at the end of the 19th century?   If there is a kind person out there who would be prepared to check for me that would be great.

The passenger I am looking for is Thomas Rees born Swansea in Jan 1861.  Believed to have travelled on the Saint Louis from Southampton arriving at Ellis Island on 21 Sept 1895.  It is believed he probably returned to UK before 1901. 

If anyone can find his return details I should be so grateful.  Thank you.
Ann.

Hi Steve - I don't have any age/y.o.b. for William Blick - just his marriage to Mary Randall in 1805 in Hughenden Church.  Very frustrating as it is an unusual name & would love to go further back with it!  Thanks for your interest.

Further to that last post, I do have the marriage of William & Mary (7 Nov 1805 at Hughenden) and Mary's baptism (10 Oct 1779 also Hughenden) - just can't find William's birth/baptism/parents!

Thanks for that Steve - I do have that baptismal record - but that's about it.  Would love to find out more about her parents so that I can take that line further back!  Thanks again,
Ann

Hi - my 3xgtgrandmother was Rachel Blick b 1811 in Wendover, she married William Hazell in 1829.  I am finding it v difficult to get any more info about her - but I believe her parents were William Blick & Mary Randall.  Does she appear in your tree?
