Hi KR,

Quite a few anc trees, if you do not have access to ancestry, you can still view for free on the sister site http://www.mundia.com/gb/
 
Could it be that the couple first moved to Canada ? There is an entry on the USA 1900 Census of a similar couple under the spelling "Aybrod" which was corrected  to Aykroyd - James and Anna with 7 children. Thomas and Alice were both born in Canada. Living Boston Ward 1, Suffolk, Massachusetts.

James Aybrod 40 Jan 1860   Anna Aybrod 40 Apr 1860. Had 11 children and 7 survive.
Elizabeth M  22 Born Eng Aug 1877
James 19 Born Eng. May 1881.
Thomas  16 Born Canada Dec 1883.
Alice  13 Born Canada Jan 1887.
Albert  10 Born MA Dec 1889.
Arthur  8 Born MA Aug 1891.
Elsie 6 Born Sept 1893.

Hi Sandra,

That's the family.
I have found some information on the family search site, names of children, and the 1930/1940 census.

Yes, looks like they entered America via Canada.

Thanks for the info from the 1900 census.

I don't have access to Ancestry, will take a look at the mundia site.

Many thanks
KR  :)
