Yes!  Thank you so much.

Now I wonder if they went to America a few years later.  Any ideas how to determine that?

Hi,

By 1881 they were living in America -

They must have moved to America between 1851 and 1860, as they are on the 1860 census -

Added -

Just to narrow the search - Their child Charles was born c.1853 in England

[cassiar]

And it looks like their child Henry was born in New York in 1855, so that puts them sailing in 1854 probably.

Thanks for your help on this.  I'll close this topic now.

Hi Cassiar

There might be a new button at the bottom of the page, 'topic completed'

It should also appear on all topics on 'look-up request' boards
