Find Living Relatives

Dear All
I am trying to find out information about Alfred as he was my grandad. I would like to know more about him and if if he has any relations in the US which may be distant relatives of mine.
Thanks for all the help so far :-)

Dougie,

PLEASE be very careful.

"When Alfred Pittock arrived in the USA in (presumably via Ellis Island) he stated that his destination was New York."

No..when he arrives-he's going to Asbury Park,NJ.

U.S., Social Security Death Index, 1935-2014 about Mae Pittock
Name: Mae Pittock
SSN: 136-28-0430
Last Residence: 07712 Asbury Park, Monmouth, New Jersey, USA
BORN: 6 Nov 1899
Died: Oct 1980
State (Year) SSN issued: New Jersey (1952-1953)

In my experience of relatives who had emigrated to the USA they were heading to a place where they already had a family connection.

When Alfred Pittock arrived in the USA in (presumably via Ellis Island) he stated that his destination was New York.

Are there people still living in New York related to Alfred Pittock?

The surname is a bit uncommon

I have gone down the 411.com avenue when I have been trying to trace relatives who had gone to live in the USA.

I have traced family members now living in Detroit & Pennsylvania

Is the lady looking to find descendants or family related to Alfred Pittock now living in the USA ?

Dougie

If he's the fellow in Asbury Park-his "wife" is Mae.

Not quite sure what you want to find out.

Sorry,Dougie,but why would that help? :-S

Maureen

The last USA Census was in 1940 so if he arrived in 1946 he would not be on it.

I suggest that you go to the site 411.com which is a site giving USA telephone numbers & addresses.

The name Pittock is a fairly uncommon name.

Key in the name "Pittock & the place "New York" & see what comes up.


Dougie

You probably need to ask if anyone with a worldwide subscription to either Ancestry or Findmypast could look up census records in America for you. I'm not sure myself what is available.

Rose

Hi All,
Thanks so much for your messages, Rose - how do I see the passenger list and could you advise how I trace him in New Jersey as I haven't a clue. I have found out that he lived in Asbury Park and it seems didn't have any other relationships on record.

Are you trying to trace what happened to him?

Looking at the births on FreeBMD, it looks like he and Gladys were no longer together by 1945.

There's an Alfred Edward Pittock who became an American citizen in 1959 and this death:

He's also on a passenger list leaving the UK.

Hi, I am wondering if anyone recognises the name Alfred E Pittock born I think in Suffolk 1903 - married Gladys Mills in 1937. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
