1891 census look up for POTTS

[gladys1]

Hi Jim,  i would take it that is your great grandfather on the Lord Clive Ship as his age fits with his birth 1839.  Your web site is brilliant.  I am kept quite busy with my family trees and keep getting more contacts and it takes so much time to see to them and with having other dutys to do. Keeps me busy.   gladys

Hi Gladys,

Glad to hear from you.  I also 'think' that he may have returned to England at some point prior to the 1891 census.  Do you know of any way to check that?  I have also seen an Edward Potts as a laborer in Philadelphia in 1890, but by himself.  My Great grandmother shows up in the 1900 USA census with 2 of the children (my grandfather Robert and his sister Phoebe, both born in Easington), but no evidence of Edward.

Sorry Jim i haven`t any idea how to find ships arriving in England from USA as i woud like to know as well to see when my granny got back as she was home in 1891 census.  Gladys.

Hey Gladys,

Are you saying that your granny went to the US an returned prior to 1891?  Do you think they traveled together?  What evidence or info do you have surrounding this?  Do you think the Camperdon "Edward" is our Edward?

Hiya Jim, As we know Edward William was staying with the Smith family in 1881 census and the census would have been taken in April, what was the month and year the Lord Clive sailed for America, he was with the Smiths on that ship and his age fits. Did you ever find him in 1891.   My granny went to Pennsylvania when she was ten with her grandparents 1884 on the ship`
