Thanks - I had seen he was blind on the 1910 census , this is the only census which gives this info on so not able to see how long he had this condition...|I have his WW1 draft registration for WW1 which states in 1918 he was blind in both eyes... he immigrated in 1906 and no mention of being blind on ships manifest....thought he had received the injury in WW1 but then 1910 census scuppers that idea...on 1930 census said he was not a veteran.. I wonder if he had an accident between 1906 and 1910??/ his wife and six children immigrated to US a year later.
Have looked for them on 1940 census but as you say its not fully indexed...looking forward to that.
Interesting info from 1930 Camden index, I hadn't seen that and the childrens name all fit the family of William and Ellen - although she had never had a middle name M on anything else.. I do have one US Social Security Death Index for a possible lead but place of death I have not connected yet with family, but then Grant Avenue Pennsauken Township is new!!!
Many thanks for sending this - each day find a little more about this branch of my family
Cheers
