Moogaloos Scavenger Hunt Part 2... Everyone Welcome To Join In

[Annie65115]

Ancetry won't give me the years for incoming lists, only the names.

I searched for Young -- Charles, Emily, Joanna (found a Joan and a "jonanna") and Sidney.

I found immigrations from New York to Liverpool for each of those names but I don't know the dates. Is that enough to go on to chekc them out?



Looking at 1911 Winifred Wheeler and again I may be getting too distracted by false leads but in Liverpool there is a family of Wheeler siblings:
Helen Margaret age 27
Mary Charlotte age 25
Winifred Nicholas age 22
John Victor age 13

The first 3 are all American residents but "British subject by parents"; John was born in Liverpool.

Worth checking out?

So -- they were Wheelers, and they were travelling to London in the late 1970's -

they would have been quite elderly ladies, I'd guess?

So I wonder when Emily adopted the Young surname - was it only for Sidney after all?

No, they travelled from London to Salford, Lancs.  Then my aunt Joanna went to meet them in London a bit later.  But my sister was sure they were Wheelers.  x x

All my father's sisters were born before 1909, which is the year my father was born, but only three of them were born after 1901,  /that is Joanna, Ellen, and my father's twin sister Dorothy.  None were born after 1909 and my father is the only boy of the family..

Moogaloo, you/your father may be right -- he may have been the only boy in the family.

But surprises can happen, especially if he had older half-siblings who may not have lived with him. Older siblings could also have died.

I'm just saying -- don't rule something out just because it contains the name of an older boy, if other names may fit.

My dad (Sidney Young) was born in Walcot, Bath, Somerset chuck, so this can't be him.  Only explanation for this being connected to us is if the R Young is related to Charles my grandfather, perhaps a brother or cousin who named their child Sidney too.  x x

Wheelers are complicated
Followed up the Emily Wheeler aged 9 1881 Census Orphan Birth Parish Aston
1891 Emily Wheeler 21 housemaid Birth place Bidford (5 miles from Aston)
1901 Emily Wheeler, birthplace Bidford married to a Harry WHEELER with two children Harry 4 an Emily 3
Marriage easy to cross index with both names being Wheeler Not one matches between 1891 and 1911.
1911 Census no trace of either Emily Wheeler, Harry (husband ) or children. No deaths registered for him between 1901 and end 1911. They disappeared.
Ok so going to look at emmigration now
