Rose.
Thank you for details of 1940 census in America. This is def the family. The head of the family is Joseph and not Robert. I no longer have the address of Josephine in 1970s who was married by then I also cant remember her married name. I do hope someone can link with the family and I can also be connected with them. Do you know if 1940 is the last census in America , which can be accessed.??

Thanks Stuart. I believe Robert travelled before hid family. I think this was to secure a place to stay and poss a job. They were all together after family left U K.The last contact with them from America was in 1970s.. I would love to reconnect with them.
