Frederick and Francis Champ

Port of Arrival New York.

if you let me have you email addy i'll send the whole page.
Will look in a min to see if i can find them on census,

Karen

thankyou mike and " cinders" not sure how to send you my e-mail address , much appreciated , angela

Angela,
click on my name and you can then send me a message that only i can see,

Karen

I think there's a bit of confusion here because on the 1880 census Frederick's wife is Frances, also born England.
Could the brothers Frederick & Francis who arrived in 1854 actually be man & wife Frederick & Frances? They had a son born 1855 in Illinois.

was just thinking the same Margaret.


checked the immigration page and both Frederick and Francis were male

OK, Cinders, we'll shoot that theory down.
Marg

just found what could be Francis in 1860 in USA but can't find him after that.
