I have hit a brick wall so hope there is someone out there who can help me
Stephen Gaskell was my Gt Grandfather he was living in Newchurch in Rossendale in the 1881 census
his wife was Elizabeth Ann Gaskell ( Nee Ormerod) they had three children
George Henry Gaskell , b1870
My Grandmother Elizabeth Alice Gaskell b 1873
James Ormerod Gaskell b abt 1880 they lived with their Mother in Bacup
they were all in the 1881 census
but none of them are there in the 1891 census
I have found that Stephen sailed from Liverpool on the ship
The City of Richmond to New York soon after the 1881 census was taken where I
found him, arriving there on the 19th August 1881
but there the brick wall comes into play and I cannot trace him any further he may have gone on to Canada,
Hope someone has knowledge of him Thank you
