Thank you for this Sandra missed that post will start research on this tomorrow. I know Eliza Davies married a William Youd but he died, she then married Joseph but the others I don't know about,
Thanks again,
Retpara.

Yes I have Sandra, got all the family history it's just what happened to Joseph Winter as he has us totally baffled we can only assume he emigrated at the moment.

Hi,
On Thomas Winter marriage certificate on the 26th July 1884 to Elizabeth Lloyd states his fathers name was Joseph Winter and he was a puddler.
Thanks,
Retpara.

Hi Sandra,
Thank you for your help. Yes I have the marriage certificate for Thomas Winter, whom was my gt grandfather. George as i recall never married and the two brothers were both killed together in the 1894 Albion Pit Disaster.
I have all my family history from Thomas Winter, but unable to locate Joseph Bayles Winter.
Thank you again,
Retpara.

Hi all,
Not sure if I have come to the right group, but I am looking for advise on which way to search for my Gt Gt Grandfather who disappeared off U.K. records early 1870's. A kind researcher found this information and passed onto me.

USA immigration.
It was after the the USA census of 1870, but before the 1871 census in Wales.
Name: Joseph Winter
Arrival Date: 27 Mar 1871
Birth Date: abt 1835
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/ Nationality: English
Place of Origin: England
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England and Queenstown, Ireland
Destination: United States of America
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Abyssinia

He was travelling alone, but that was common - that spouses travelled on different ships.
It was also common that a place of origin would be recorded as England for Wales.

The date of disappearance is correct as is his date of birth so this makes him a great contender fo being my gt gt grandfather only difference is, his full name was Joseph Bayles Winter.
So any help and advise I am given would be really greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all in advance,
Retpara.
