I am looking for any information on the Chamberlain family

business who took machinery , workers and their families to

America to start a lacemaking business there. Any help appreciated.
Barbara

You might need to give a bit more information for anyone to be able to help you.....

What year?

Names?

What area were they from?

Have you found them on any census prior to their emigtaion to America? if so please give details.



Nicky

I don't know what year, the only name I have is Chamberlain. I

found some notes written by my Aunt concerning her

Grandmothers sister Aunt Polly.

I do not know which sister is Polly as she had 5 born about the 1850's.

Their surname was Hind. The note read Aunt Polly went twice

to America first class to visit them. I'm afraid this is all I have. I

just need some ideas on how to go about searching.

Barbara

where in the UK were they born

Chesterfield Derbyshire Thank you Ann

The generation before came from Nottingham. I do have
Sarah Chamberlain who married William Hind at St Mary's Nottingham in 1817

No Polly in this lot, but she may have been born later... These are all children of William and Sarah....

4. AUGUSTUS CHAMBERLIN HINDE - International Genealogical Index

To help youn find this family you need to narrow down the search a bit more..You mention " she had about 5 born about the 1850`s"

So would they be Hinds or Chamberlins? from what you`ve said already it sounds like 2 generations of the Hind family married a Chamberlin...is that correct?

Nicky

A quick search of the 1880 US census brings up 225 people with the surname Chamberain/Chamberlin who were born in England

I looked at a few but didn`t find any lacemakers.

Nicky

I am not sure if two generations married the chamberlains. could you please

check and see, if it is possible, if Sarah Chamberlain had any siblings

perhaps Polly is a nickname. The grandmother s name is Frances Hind

b 1851 daughter of Adolphus Hind 1822 -1894 and Mira Smith.

Thank you for your efforts Nicky.

Mmm thank you Ann of green gables I will have to have a good look at all this

The family seems to be quite involved with lace. I wonder if they all show on

the 1891 and 1901 census, that may prove if and when they went to America.

That is if this is the family that did. Is there any way to check shipping

records for this time frame. I t seems odd that it was mentioned in the letter

about 2 separate first class trips to America. There must have been some money there.
Thank you Ann

There's a tree on Ancestry by David King, with this family. He seems to have several Adolphuses and other repeats, but only one Mary. He doesn't have any of them going to America. He's taken the Hind family back further.

Frances Mira Hind b 1851 married William King.

The tree has loads of photos.
