1900 & 1910 US census Look up for name COWES

[debbie b]

Hi,

Does anyone have access to the 1900 and/or 1910 us census records - Massachusettes probably.

I am trying to find the following:
Harry Cowes (Born 1895) Pontefract Yorkshire
William Cowes (Born 1889) Don't know where - I have his DOB from his WW1 enlistment record
Amy Cowes (Born 1885-1895) again, no birth located in the UK for her,

Their Mother is Jane (Probably COWES)
Father is Emmanuel COWES.

(Harry's marriage in 1923 at Kippax church lists his father as Emmanuel Cowes deceased).

Oral family history says they never married BUT Jane does marry in 1916 to someone else and is listed as  JANE COWES on the marriage record plus her 3 children all have the surname COWES.

I know for definite that Harry and William die in the UK - I have located death records for them.

Amy marries Martin J Kenny in 1914 and oral family history say they emigrated to the USA but no one knows where.

I have been unable to locate ANY UK census records 1891/1901/1911 for Jane or the children and I am wondering if perhaps it was Emmanuel with the US connection?

I have located a 1911c for an Emmanuel Cowes who states he was born in Devon (UK) in 1856 and is single - it IS possible this could be him. I have no BMD for him so cannot be sure.

Many thanks for any help at all with this one - it's proving a real mystery

Kind regards - Debbie

(I know I could solve some some of this with certificates but it is too costly at the moment)

Many thanks Sandra.

I have searched the IGI already and the Ancestry is for 1940's and I know the family were
in the Yorkshire area from 1914 onward.  It's 1890-1911 I'm unable to locate them.

Hi,

Amy marries Martin J Kenny in 1914 and oral family history say they emigrated to the USA but no one knows where.

 

So these 2 immigrated to the USA in 1914 and then came back to the UK in 1914 onwards 

Where in the UK do they marry - can't pick out the marriage record ?

[*Sandra*]

OK. Found the marriage - March 1918

Amy Cowes  and Martin J Kenny at   Pontefract  Ref :- 9c 216

Cannot see anything under the surname "Cowes" on passenger lists returning to the UK.
Can see a William Cowles aged 23 (occupation:- miner) returning from New York on the Caronia 18th April 1912.
Not picking up a Martin or Amy going out to the States yet.
