Francis King was born in St. Hilary, Cornwall, about 1832. He married Eliza Mollard just before the 1861 census. He was a Miner. Between the years 1861-1866 they had 3 daughters - Eliza, Caroline and Ann. Their last child was born 4 March 1866 and baptised as Anne on 26 March 1866. The residence for the family was Higher Downs, St. Hilary.
The 1871 census has Eliza and the 3 girls living with her mother - Susanna - a widow. No Francis.
The 1880 census has them living in Sherman, Keweena, Michigan. He is a Miner. With them now is a 2month old son, Francis. This points to Francis sr. having left England sometime after 1866 and Eliza joining them possibly 1878-1879.
I can't find them on passenger lists going out. Can anyone help?

have you found any of them on later Censuses? Francis junior is listed as a Boarder on the 1900 Census for Houghton township, Keweena, Mich. His occupation is Machinist ?.
The writing is very scratchy BUT it appears as though he is living with sister Caroline and her family.
Head of household is John ***tshill born England March 1864 occupation - Miner. Year of immigration 1873
Caroline born England June 1864. Year of immigration1878
Eva born Nov 1888
Ethel born Jan 1890
Reginald born July 1892
**** (son) born Sept 1894
Bertha born Feb 1898
baby (dau) born April 1900

unfortunately I don't have access to the 1890 Census but the immigration year of 1878 fits perfectly with Francis junior's birth. It's a pity that the 1880 doesn't give as much information.

Colin, here's a census for 1884, it's from the same site as the death cert above. Have a wander around the site yourself. It's a fantastic free database. I wish Maryland had a similar site.
