American census entries for Thomas LEIGH
I am trying to trace the following family who moved to the USA between 1871 ( England census) and 1880. I have pasted the 1880 American census entry that I have from the free Ancestry.com site, with which format you are probably familiar, and I would like to know more about what happened to the family in America, Can anybody help please?
Census Place West New Brighton, Richmond (Staten Island), New York City-Greater, New York Household: Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace
Thomas LEIGH Self M Male W 48 ENG Hand In Dye Factory ENG ENG Rachael LEIGH Wife M Female W 43 ENG Keeping House WALES WALES Squire LEIGH Son S Male W 18 ENG Hand In Dye Factory ENG ENG Maria LEIGH Dau S Female W 11 ENG Attending School ENG ENG Levenia LEIGH Dau S Female W 10 ENG Attending School ENG ENG Thomas LEIGH Son S Male W 7 ENG Attending School ENG ENG
This is an entry from a few doors down and could be the eldest son Thomas.
William LEIGH Self M Male W 25 ENG Hand In Dye Factory ENG ENG Catharine LEIGH Wife M Female W 24 IRE Keeping House IRE IRE
I know that they travelled over from Liverpool in the "City of Richmond" in 1873 and have found them in the passenger lists. I would be grateful if you could help trace them further.
Regards, Alan

Just noticed that it was too late in the time period, possibly a son?
