1910 American Census

[pammie]

Can anyone help with looking up the following:

George & Sarah Du Puy, and son Lionel Du Puy.

Sarah was born in England in 1877 and Lionel was born in England in 1907.
They arrived with a relative, Bella Wood in USA  in 1908 and the destination was Los Angeles.  George Du Puy was already in USA.

Any info on if this family stayed will be a big help!

Thank you so much Valerie that is great. 

I knew that Sarahs father & brother had gone for a visit in 1909 but didnt assume they had stayed in the USA.  Wonder if I will be able to find them in 1920?? 

Really appreciate it..........thank you.

Hi Pammie
Unfortunately, I am having problems locating ANY of the family, Dupuy or Lomas on the 1920 census.

However, I did find the following on 1930

California, Los Angeles

DUPUY
George, Head, 53, marr 22 years, Eng, Eng, Eng, House
              Painter, to USA 1908, Naturalized

Sarah, wife, 53, Eng, Eng, Eng, to USA 1908, naturalized

Lionel G, son, 22, single, to USA 1908, naturalized,
               apprentice motion picture projectionist

WEST, John W., Brother in law, 37, single, Eng, Eng, Eng,
           truck driver, to USA 1919, Alien

Perhaps the family went "home" for a visit?
Or someone else may have better luck with 1920

Regards,
Valerie

Hi Pammie
Here's another little bit...

California Death Index
DUPUY, Sarah
born 22 March 1877, other country
died 5 October 1955
Mothers Maiden Name: West
Fathers Surname:         Lomas

On the California Vital Records site, I found a death entry that might be "your Edward."

Lomas, Edward P.
died 4/16/1927, Age 70

If this is him, where was he in 1920?  Aaaaargh!!!

Thanks Valerie
