Hi Lorraine,
The only marriage i could find in England for Henry Dunn was in 1900
to Kate Hodson ( Catherine ).So i can`t understand it now.
They are also on the 1908 Ellis Site passenger list and living
at 64 Blake St,Bloomfield,New Jersey.
The address Arthur Gater went to was 55 Myrtle Street,Bloomfield.

Hi Lorraine,
Thankyou very much for what you found i am so grateful.
So Kate Dunn is probably Kate Gater or Catherine and born in England.
I can`t understand where the parents are though.
Never mind i appreciate what you have found.
Many Thanks
Carol

Hi Lorraine,
I have Arthur Gater on the 1901uk Census with his wife Beatrice.
He went to America in 1910 according to the Ellis Island site,prior to that
had lived in America for 15 years,so must have been before 1901.
As i can account for him after that..
There is no Birth for him in Birmingham,so i don`t know who is siblings
were or his mother.
I know his father was Frederick and a plumber through Arthur`s
marriage certificate.
A witness on marriage certificate in 1898 was Ada Gater whether
sibling i don`t know.
One of his sister`s must have lived in America but who she is i don`t know.
Arthur`s Brother-in-law name i am not sure .on the passenger list
in 1910 it is not very clear ,it could be H,Dunn,H,Driver or H,Quinn he
lived at 55 Mrytle Street,Bloomfied,New Jersey.
I know it is very complicated,that is why i am struggling with it.

Hi Lorraine.

The last census I have Henry Moore is the 1891 living with his parents and siblings.
His parents are Henry and Margaret nee Stewart.
I have not been able to find a marriage or death for him in Scotland.
His d.o.b. is 1860 in Hutchesenton, Glasgow.
Many thanks
jean
SORRY THAT SHOULD BE THE 1881 CENSUS.
1st one looks quite promising , don't think the 2nd one is mine

Lorraine,
My Henry's father was Irish, mother Scottish

hi carol

having trouble finding you arthur, do you know his mothers name and do you have him on the uk 1901 census I have looked for him on the 1900 usa and not found him nor on any passenger lists incoming to uk.


also his sisters name if she emigrated to usa I may be able to find her on a census and that will tell me her place of birth which would be useful


thanks

Hi Lorraine,
I am looking for a probable Birth of Arthur Gater born abt 1878.
He was on the 1901 English Census in Birmingham which says he was
born in Birmingham.I cannot find a Birth for him or his family.
Arthur`s father was Frederick a Plumber but i can`t find him.
So i thought maybe they were born in America.
I found Arthur on the Ellis Island site in 1910 going to see his Brother-
in-law at 55 Myrtle Street , Bloomfield,New Jersey.
It also says Arthur lived there prior to 1910 for 15 years that is why i think
Arthur may heve been born there.
If you can help i would be very grateful.
Thankyou
Carol

I wonder if you could find Henry Moore d.o.b.1860 in Glasgow on the u.s.passenger list please.
Also if possible Stewart Moore on any canadian census, his d.o.b.c 1860.
