Raymond, there are various bits and pieces for members of that family but before we spend time digging them all out could you tell us how you connected to them in the first place and what it is you're particularly interested in?

This is what happens when you post the same question twice.

To be fair Mike, it wasn't a deliberate duplicate but one of those glitches that happens when the system was running very sloooowwww!!

Both opening posts on each thread have the same time.

To find links on GR....use 'search all trees'

Hello Raymond......welcome to the community boards. :-D


As Raymond is a new poster, I have sent him a friendly message on how to return to his thread(s). :-)

Hi All.I started this thread because of a problem.Walter&Sarah A Stead,and their family:Joe Arthur,Willie,George.I could not find them anywhere in the 1911 uk census,a family living in Wakefield.George is my maternal grandfather,and i know he marries Nora Nettleton in Ossett,in 1922.So i searched on Familysearch,and came across 1910 censusUSA,Lawrence Ward 4,Essex,Massachusetts,and started wondering if this was my family,because I cannot find their deaths in the uk either,apart from George my grandfather.Sarah Ann,s father is John Robert Jaques.
