Good morning.
I wonder if anyone could help me find a family from Wigan Lancashire who at sometime went to America where 3 of their children were born. They had 6 children but the first 3 were born in America.
Parents are John and Ellen Molyneaux
The children born in America are
Elijah born c1884 • Rhode Island , New England , America John W. born c 1886 • Rhode Island , New England , America Rachel Anne 24 MAY 1889 • Rhode Island , New England , America
The children born in Wigan Lancashire are George 1893 Rebecca 1895 Bertha 1903
Rachel went on to marry John Fenn in 1912 in Ince Wigan Lancashire and it is her that I am trying to find out how come she was born in America. I cant seem to find any passenger details for her parents. Would there have been an American census that I might find them on
Here is what I have
1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census 41, Broom Street, Ince in Makerfield, Wigan, Lancashire, England
John Molyneux Head Married Male 42 1859 Whitesmith & Coal Dealer Ince, Lancashire, England
Ellen Molyneux Wife Married Female 41 1860 - Ince, Lancashire, England
Elijah Molyneux Son Single Male 16 1885 Coal Carter United States
Rachel Molyneux Daughter - Female 10 1891 - United States
George Molyneux Son - Male 8 1893 - Wigan, Lancashire, England
Rebecca Molyneux Daughter - Female 7 1894 - Wigan, Lancashire, England
1911 Census For England & Wales 41 Bolton St Higher Ince Wigan, Ince in Makerfield, Lancashire, England
John Molyneux Head Married Male 52 1859 Tinsmith Higher Ince Lancs
Ellen Molyneux Wife Married Female 51 1860 Household Higher Ince Lancs Elijah Molyneux Son Single Male 25 1886 Tinsmith America Phoel Island ( should say Rhode Island )
Rachel Molyneux Daughter Single Female 20 1891 Spinner America Phoel Island ( should say Rhode Island )
George Molyneux Son Single Male 18 1893 Hawker Wigan Lancs
Rebecca Molyneux Daughter Single Female 16 1895 Spinner Higher Ince Lancs
Bertha Molyneux Daughter - Female 8 1903 School Higher Ince Lancs
I can't find a marriage between John Molyneaux and his wife Ellen. She was from Ince Wigan so I presumed they married before they went to America
This is the marriage of Rachel Anne Molyneaux
Marriage 6 Apr 1912 • Christ Church Ince Wigan Lancashire John Fenn - 19, Cotton worker, Bachelor, 37 Bird St Rachel Molyneux - 21, Spinster, 41 Bolton St Groom's Father: John Fann, Stripper & Grinder Bride's Father: John Molyneux, Tinsmith Witness: Elijah Molyneux; Elizabeth Ellen Jolley
Any help finding out about their journey why ? when ? or where to USA would be very much appreciated.
Thank you LInda
