Info on Richardson Sherwood Blenkinsopp, of Tacoma, Washington

[JackB015725]

Hi,

I'm trying to find some information on my ancestor, Richardson (Richard) Sherwood Blenkinsopp, who was born on the 4th September 1886 in Monkwearmouth, Durham, England, to George Scott Blenkinsop (1860-1943) and Elizabeth Jane Sherwood (1867-1953). I know he moved to Washington, USA in around 1913 and he married Rhoda Esther Jones (1896-1989) in Washington.

He died about 1970 in the Bel Air Nursing Home, Tacoma, Washington, USA.

I would like to find more information about his time in Tacoma, where he was living, any census details that people are able to find and if he had any children.

Thank you,

JackB

All records give date of birth as 4 September 1888.

He died 6 March 1970

He arrived Port Huron Michigan 12 February 1910 and returned to Liverpool arriving 5 August 1910

I cannot see when he returned but he married 19 May 1913.

Thank you so much everybody for helping me with Richard.

It never occurred to me that FamilySearch has the American Census on there for free. I'll start having a look there then.

Thank you,
