Trying to find where Richard has gone. He was on the 1871 census aged 16 with his family in Cornwall.Then he disappears.
I have come across a Richard from Cornwall who immigrated to USA. The said destination is Michigan. 1874 Occupation Mason. (Strange coincidence his father Charles was a Mason) Comment that is on the Cornwall OPC site says details are for father, wife Sarah Jane-Cornish.
Can some one help me to find out what this all means.
Thanks:

and Mary Ann Mitchell 15 May 1824 in Cambourne County, Cornwall, – died 9 Jan 1891 in Dodgeville, WI.

Hi Wentworth
You say
" Comment that is on the Cornwall OPC site says details are for father, wife Sarah Jane-Cornish. "
I have been on the site and doing a search for baptisms I can't even brig up a Richardwith father Charles. What am I doing wrong?Sometimes paranoia is just having all the facts.

Thanks for all the replies. Because I am in SOuth Australia the time zone is about 12hours difference.
I have read all the replies and have come up with all that you have. I am ruling Richard out of going to America only because his brothers came out to Australia and as I have only just discovered Richard on a census with his family did not know he existed. So will start looking here in Australia.
Thanks for all the help
