Okay,  that's good !!   Was worried about that Passenger List really being him.

Not finding Elizabeth Westman on a Passenger List yet.   She was young when she came over --  any clue if her parents/siblings came too ??

And not finding Elizabeth Pow's death yet  but the on-line records are from 1949.   She was alive in 1930  so could be anytime between 1930-1966  as Henry was a Widow when he died.

I know nothing about Elizabeth Westman at all.
Only that she also emigrated from Bradford Yorkshire to America.
The Ship is correct, I had that infomation, but you have confirmed it

Mother Sarah was born in Leeds Yorkshire in 1837.
I have a note that she died in Dover Ontario Canada in 1912 - NOT confirmed as yet.

RC  getting "sticky"   taking me along time to post!!

hmmm ... on the Canada clue ---   have not been having luck finding the father Joseph and Sarah  in 1900  so will  have a look there as well.

[Muffin41]

Yes, Joseph is the brother of Henry.   He died 23.6.1949 in Fairfield

Wife was Annie Martin born about 1867 in Scotland - No idea where as yet

Children match to what I have so far.

We were making pretty good progress but now things getting tougher   ....of course   

Did any other of Joseph and Sarah's children come over ??  Of the 10,   Joseph (1867), Hannah (1872)  , Wm. M,  s/b be Thomas W  (1875)  Henry (1876) and Jane (1879)    Do I have that right ??   

Any possible married names for Hannah and Jane ??

Not finding anything for Joseph and Sarah in Canada....yet ...  may need a Canada expert for that!
