THOMAS PROFFITT
« on: Thursday 21 June 07 18:09 BST (UK) »
Hya,

Looking for any information on a gentleman called Thomas Proffitt who dissapeared allegedly to America leaving behind his wife and five children.  The year would have been somewhere between 1891 and 1901.

Family whispers have said that he joined a musical band but that is the last anyone heard about him.....whether or not this is true or whether or not this was a story introduced by a family mortified by a roving husband and father we cannot be sure however nothing more was noted of him in UK.

I have no info regarding where he may have gone to or even which port he left England by, (probably Liverpool), but hopefully someone may know something.

Thanks in anticipation,

Michelle

If he was the the Thomas silk weaver from MacClesfield appearing there in 1891 and then wife showing as widowed in 1901....ahhh.........well...........there is a 29 year old silk weaver from Cheshire through Boston in 1892  ::)

Thomas Profitt arrived 30 Sep 1892. b. abt 1863,  Male, departed  Liverpool, England  last lived Cheshire, ship Marathon
