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.

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`

Back again so i will start where i left off Zepheniah & Eleanor Jacques were me granny`s  grandparents and they never came back to England so it would be nice to know who my granny came back with but its getting to know what ship she came back on.  But i guess i have had it ???  Can`t help laughing at part of my message going off like that. Gladys.
