My great grandfather Emanuel Smith accompanied his brother Henry's family to Philadelphia Pennsylvania looking for a better life in 1889. I am assuming brother Henry went earlier, although I haven't found him yet on a shipping list. Shortly after arrival a child Edith SMITH was born in 1890. I don't know where in Pennsylvania she was born. My g grandfather returns from PA within 9 months of arriving, and is in the 1891 census. His brother Henry and family are not in the 1891 UK census. At some stage in the 1890s, the family returns to England - back to the same little mining town in Yorkshire, minus the father Henry, who I believe died in the USA.
My question however, is about Edith Smith's birth in 1890. How do I go about searching for it? All I know is she was born in Pennsylvania in 1890. I have nothing else to go on. I have no idea if there are any indexes I can look up like there are in the UK.
