Find Ancestors

Hi Rose You've helped me in the past and I was wondering if you could find some of this family on the US 1860 census for me? The info is from 1850 US census and they were living in Providence, Rhode Island. As far as I know they stayed in the Rhode Island area. All were born in England, sometimes the name is spelt HATFIELD. ALFRED HADFIELD, age 23 ELIZABETH HADFIELD, age 21 FREDERICK HADFIELD, age 17 CHRISTOPHER HADFIELD, age 15 ANDREW HADFIELD, age 27 ELIZABETH HADFIELD, age 29 MARY HADFIELD, age 4 Hope that you'll be able to help in some way, thanks for your time. Dawn :-)

Rosemary, Thank you for your kind offer.On 1861 census of U.K. Benjamin Abberley/Abley /Habberly aged 25yrs gave he was born in America-therefor about 1836-but no State listed.His parents would be Rosanna (Rose-or Anna)and Roland/Rowland.Would appreciate any census/immigration information if possable.I realise this is a difficult request however have no further details. Thelma.

Dawn, Found Andrew, wife Elizabeth, daughter Mary and a few other children on the 1860 and 1870 in RI Also found Alfred, wife Ann and several children on the 1860 and 1870 in RI. Am I on the right track? I have saved the images, just need your email address. I'll look for the others in the meantime. Rose

Rosemary please would you check for James Evans (sometimes born Wales sometimes Shropshire) and wife Mary (sometimes born Staffordshire, usually Shifnal Shrops) their two children were born New Foundland, the first in 1831, sometimes birth place given USA. I imagine they went out about 1829-1830. A few years later they returned to Shropshire. Hope this makes sense, thanks even if you cant help, it is generous of you to offer. XX

Thelma, The only record I found was for a Rowland Aberly who immigrated to the US, arriving at NY in 1831 at the age of 27. There is no other info or image available for this record. I can't find Rowland on the 1830 or 1840 census. Only heads of households were listed until 1850 when all household members were named but I can't find any Aberly/Abberly/Habberly's on the 1850 or 1860 census. Have you been able to find Benjamin on the 1851 UK census? Rose

Annie, Sorry, no trace of Percival on the 1910 or 1920 census. Don't see him on the immigration records either. To determine year of marriage on the 1930, compare age at time of census vs age at marriage. The difference for Percival is 7 years so you can assume they married around 1923. Where though is a mystery. Too bad they had no children or I could have possibly tracked them down that way. The census records are continually being updated so perhaps he will turn up later. Rose

Nelly, Can you give me James' year of birth? New Foundland is part of Canada and there are only a few immigration records available. Rose

Thanks for the help, James was born abt 1793, wife mary abt 1804. The 2 children born over there Emma abt 1831, Thomas abt 1835. Thanks again, you really work quickly. XX

Nelly, Sorry, couldn't find them. Rose

Thanks for trying Rosemary, they have been using avoidance all the way along, one step forward six back.

Rosemary, Thank You for reply,much appreciated.Will start looking for the Abberly family on 1851 Census of STS.as they may have all returned to England,not just Benjamin. Thanks, Thelma.

Hi Rose Once again you've helped me loads. That looks like them. I've sent you a private message with my email addy in. Thanks again, you're a star!!!! Dawn :-)

Hi Rose Wonder if you can find John G Cannon, born 1848 Poplar, Middlesex in US 1850 and 1860. He had a son, John E Cannon, born c1866 Albany. Can't trace him until 1881, back in Tottenham, London. Thanks for your time

Hi Rosemary I have managed to get a copy of lydia Laud marriage cert it has her father as a Richard Laud station Master, I have looked on the British census and still can not find him. and cannot find Lydia Laud on any of the British Census prior to her marriage to Charlse Jackson in 1870 Thanks for you help again Karen Marie

Christine, There's a John G Cannon on the 1861 born 1848 in Poplar Middlesex living in Poplar I can't find John Sr or Jr on the US 1870 or UK 1871. Not seeing him on the immigration records either. When did John Sr marry Eliza? I get the impression by the way she is listed on the 1881 that she may be a second wife. Rose

Hi Karen, Sorry, still can't find Lydia or her father Richard. Besides not knowing when Richard was born, but not sure where he was born. We can assume England but he also may have been born in the US. Rose

Margaret, Found a G H Folwell on the immigration records arriving 12 June 1888. The only problem it shows his birth about 1877. He is just listed as 'child' and doesn't seem to be connected to anyone. Unfortunately, there is no 1890 census. On the 1900 there is a Harold G Folwell, lodger, b 1873 in England, living in Brooklyn NY. with the Leary's Occupation: Secretary: Superior Court Judge Also listed is wife Evelyn. Shows year of arrival: 1884 On the 1910, he's back to using George H. and now a Lawyer. Does this help any? Rose
