Find Ancestors

Hi Lorraine,

Thanks for the look up offer.

I wonder if you can find Edward Alfred Parker on the 1930 USA census, I have him on the shipping list arriving in New York (from Penang) on 20/05/1929, aboard the 'Bowes Castle' - his destination was Orlando, Florida.

I have letters written by him from Orlando, but they only have a post box number, the 1st one dated 21/07/1929, so no help as to exactly where he was in Orlando.

Edward was born in 1880 in Devon, UK.

I would really appreciate any help you can turn up on Edward, the 1930 USA census is the last thing I have to solve in the mystery he left behind when he left my Grandmother and children in Melbourne after returning from WW1.

Many thanks,
Mardie.
