probably not a divorce, unless they were very well off, she may have presumed he had died.

Thank You Maddie,
Yes i do believe this is him.
Would there be any other Cenus like the above to see where he was living after the above Address?

From one of the messages on this thread its appears if it is the correct Elizabeth Harrison married Edward Bostock there must have been a Devorce from my Grandfather.

Thank You Again Maddie
I have never been addicted to anything before in my life till now lo.

Hi Ebbe
I have checked the incoming passenger lists but too many Samuel Harrisons arriving. Could be one or non.

If its at all possible I would love to know is my Fathers Father ever did return to the UK or stayed in the USA?

Or went on to marry any one else?

If that is the case there must be a Devorce?

Do you know who Fred married?

Ebbie

Ebbie Report 18 Nov 2013 12:58

Thank you pricklyholly , Fred as far as I'm aware sent his life in the Stockport area I may be wrong.

But I will send off for certificates for Fred an Sam.
I'm awaiting info from a half brother who did inform us of Fred's Death but my Father was to ill at the time.

I have tried to find his marriage to see if his wife is still alive but can't seem to find it, it would of been the Stockport area.

Thank you
Ebbie

A copy of Frederick's death cert will give you info as to who the informant was.

Hopefully a family member.

Another possibility....

Hi Gins yes he did he returned with them from USA on the first page at the bottom of the message it says who returned with William.
What does shock me is if that is Frederick that died on the island we live about a mile the way the crow flys.
Thank you Gins

Did your dad have a younger brother, Frederick? He's on the passenger list coming to the UK but doesn't show on the US census in 1915?

Edit: Of course he wouldn't appear on the census, born a year after!

Thank you Gins, yes it is a lot to take in I have listed what I believe to be correct, I know re my Fathers brothers etc but to know now his Fathers name is Great.
I would love to find someone still living on my Fathers Fathers side while My Father is still able to know what it's all about.

But I am truly grateful for all the info we have received today!
A huge thank you to every researcher involved. :-)

Yes thank you Choccy that does look like them leaving I was getting confused as I thought Samuel, William and Frederick was born in the USA.


All this info is amazing. Thank all.


Would it be at all possible if we Could find out if Samuel (Father) ever returned to England and if he remarried please. :-)
