If this 1901 census is correct then the family came over between 1889-1897

it is possible that the 1891 census of Francis Menchinskie is correct and he came over before the rest of the family

I presume that they were Jewish so it may be worth contacting Manchester Jewish museum http://www.mjm.org.uk/

Jacki

are any of the Frank Miller census records any good?

on the birth certificates that you have what was his occupation?

also please give locations for the births of the children

the only one of yr cens that could possibly be his parents is the last one.. will check against the cert i hv for frank.
how strange i guess alot of people fleeing from abroad came to uk and didnt become british.. makes me wonder why they left where they lived and when they came here....
cheers
jacki

well done victoria

In answer to your first question about migration, there are not many, if any passenger lists from Europe.

this website might give you some info
http://www.movinghere.org.uk/default.htm

if the family was Jewish and fleeing the persecutions in Europe in 19 century it might be worth checking synagogue records in the area that they settled.

if they were naturalized in England then it might be worth checking the National archives records http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/search.asp

my first thought is frank died in lanarkshire so you need records for Scotland. I do not have those. You could try on the records board if anyone is offering a look up.

hi on certs;
frank miller formally minskyinskas born 1862 russia.widow of mary formally b\pudinskustie/frank died 1926st josephs home for the poor in garngadhill lanark.mary died abt 1900 not sure at birth of ellen or just after...
his father was john minsyinskas deceased
mother was annie formally b/pu?inskutie
mary miller formally podenskey, on victorias brth 1896
mary miller formaly bodimski on williams cert 1897
so you see its not that easy...

Could you copy out what it says on the certificates.

this one is interesting
