Find Ancestors

Would like some help in trying to find the descendants of Percy Howard born 1882 London and wife Odella Howard who emigrated to the USA in 1905. They were in Massachusettes in the 1920 census with children Doris b1906, Horace b1907, Vernon b1909, Claude b1912, Lillian 1917 and Edith b1919. Is there any way of finding out what happened to them after that date?

To start:
Has anyone else on here got any of them in their tree?

I think someone did have my Percy Howard but dont remember it going anywhere.

Have you put them in your tree on here, so others can contact you?

I think they are several people on here with various children in their trees. Suggest you contact them.

looks like Percy might have re-married - think this is him -

A tree on Ancestry gives the birthplace of the Percy Howard who married Gertrude as Bradford not London. Date of birth 24 March 1882, died 1950. Parents Thomas Howard and Martha Nanson.

There is another tree with a Percy Howard born Kentish Town, London, 1 Aug 1882. Parents James Howard and Ann Foster.

Could both have emigrated to Massachusetts?

No I don't have her maiden name. I think they just got married before they went off to the States.I think they travelled with another coulpe as I have seen a photo..

A few of their graves are listed here......its free to search

Percy was born in Kentish Town. Parents James and Ann.

You can view those trees for free on this link

It would be a good idea to look at them yourself because I think there is a crossover in info between the 2 couples eg no children attached to the London born Percy .Children that you are aware of and US service records attached to the Bradford born Percy
Bradford born Percy's parents are shown as Thomas Howard and Martha Nanson
London born Percy's parents shown as James Howard and Ann Esther Foster
