Yes, I realised that but I had to put what the census was telling me. I cannot instantly see them at the moment in 1920 unless they are mis-transcribed.  ???

Hi

Its OK I understand. You have to put what the census tells. I tried once finding them on 1920 to no avail. Apparently a lot of people have problems locating ancestors on the 1920 US census for some reason.

So you have'nt found Margaret or any of the children after 1910 ?  Do you know where Thomas Prosser is buried or is that still a mystery ?

We have to presume it was between 1905 - 1910 with Mary born 1906.

 WW2 Draft No Date

Thomas William Prosser. 108 Dunbar Street. Allgeheny. PA
Person who will always know you:- Clyde Prosser, 505 Library Ave. Carnegie. PA
Employer:- Penna R R. Pittsburg. PA. (Trainman)

At the moment we do not know who Clyde Prosser can be.  I am sure it would have said if it was a son, so maybe he is a nephew ????   Another mystery for now.

Silly me. Clyde is the Brother of Thomas  ;D

If only more PA death records were online for that period, it would clear many mysteries up.

That is good. Thomas Musgrave's son in law Robert Sutherland's mother Margaret joined them in October 1893 according to the passenger lists but in 1900 her year of immigration is 1890. See how easy it was to get it wrong?

I am still sooooo pleased that I have a direct ancestor who emigrated. I always wanted one for some reason and now I have found one.
