Looking for a Mr Calvert possibly on the ship Rhynland bound for Philadelphia in 1901. If he is not found on the passenger list then if possible look for him as living in Wyola which I believe is in Montana on the 1900 USA census |

Lemuel Wm Hampson is my wife's grandfather who went out to Wyola in 1901 but returned back to England before 1905. She wanted to know who this Mr Calvert was and his occupation, it states Lemuel as being a Silver refiner so wondering if there were any silver mines in Wyola. |

There seems to have been silver mines, or at least metal ore mines in the area. |

Having difficulty identifying Wyola in any of the Census. It does come under School District 29 for 1940 but that one popped up and now its gone again. |

Thanks for the info, yes the 1911 census is correct, this is the family of my wife..Her grandfather Lemuel having returned from Wyola and married.Lemual got killed in a steel works in Sheffield in 1917. In 1920 a Lemuel Wm Hampson was heading for Quebec Canada, we thought he was an imposter with Lemuels passport but it turned out to be the second husband of Gertrude his wife who had only been married a year to Edwin Wood, he went out to Canada on Lemuels passport. It is trying to find out where Lemuel lived in Wyola and who was this Mr Calvert, a friend or an employer, we are unable to find a return passage for Lemuel William Hampson |

Looking at info of Wyola, it mentions Wyoming and also Montana. Is there a 1900 census for these states. We wondered if this Mr Calvert could have come over to England to Sheffield to visit the Steel works and met Lemuel. We have a photo of Lemuel taken in a studio in Philadelphia also have one of him dressed similar to a cowboy holding a rifle as though living in the Montana or Wyoming areas.. If we could find out more about this Mr Calvert it would give us some idea as to why Lemuel was over there. Pity the manifest didn't, give a first or initial to his surname. |

Hi Vera2010. I looked up the passenger list of the Rhynland heading for Philadelphia and saw the name of a William Calvert crossed out, having found Lemuel Wiliam Hampson on the same ship, his name was crossed out when I originally looked it up but been unable to find that page since, however I have seen another page of the manifest where it looks like he had been put into another cabin so possibly William Calvert had also been moved cabins. I do believe now that Mr Calvert stated by Lemuel Hampson as being a friend of Wyola is this person travelling on the Rhynland |

Many thanks Vera. For some reason Ancestry has changed its format, it seems that I will have to upgrade to World wide to see most of the USA census, years ago when I first started on Ancestry I could get them, but just for a couple of look ups its seems more money and I am unable to get it on pay as you go |

I have access to all the census on Ancestry but unfortunately I can't find out where Wyola is in the Census. I did find another 0005 in 1820 but no Calvert there. Perhaps John if you change your header to Montana or indicate USA, our Genes friends in the States may be able to help. I am getting so curious now, I want to know who Mr Calvert is! |

Hi Vera. Yes I am also interested as to who he is, he must have come over to recruit and something to do with refining of silver. When I looked on the passenger list and saw where Mr Calvert was crossed out and went back and another look and he's down as Wm Calvert so he is William Calvert. Having looked at the net I found Wyola Wyoming so perhaps it is on the border. |

Hi Vera. I tried heading Montana in hope that someone in America would pick it up and very quickly put in my place by people in this country for not saying please and that I had already had a tread about Mr Calvert, so can 't win.Well I will just have to hope that someone in America can help. Many thanks for your help.If I hear anything out him I will contact you |

Sorry about that John. I gather you can change your existing header ie this one but not quite sure how. Another thread probably just complicates things. I am at least learning something about America. I read a blog about Wyola, Big Horn County and it quite emphatically said that do not mix it up with Big Horn County which I gather runs on in to Wyoming. |

Hi Vera. I'm 76 now so all this modern technology is frustrating at times. my grandchildren are a wiz and help me at times if I can't father things out. I will try and go on to the Genealogy chat and see what I can find out |

I've seen your Montana thread John. So that's good and there is a link to this one. I like answering the queries but also not too hot on the technical aspects of it all. |
