Hi
I am looking for James Wenban b 1807 England. I know he went to USA in 1827 and was a widow by 1880. The census indicates he lived in Ohio in 1880 but his son John was born in Pennsylvania.
I am also looking for his brother Edward Wenban b 1809 England. He immigrated at the same time as his brother but isn't on 1880 census on LDS site.
I would really appreciate any help
Regards
Fiona

Hi Fiona
Philadelphia, 1789-1880 Naturalization Records
Name: James Wenban
Place of Origin, England
Declaration of Intent Date, 5 Dec 1844
Declaration of Intent Court, Quarter Sessions
115288
1840 Census, Summerhill, Crawford, Pennsylvania
James Wenban
Number of persons in household: 6
Ages of persons in household, 1 male (age 30 - 40) 1 female (age 30 - 40) 2 females (under 5) 2 females (age 5 - 10)

John P, age 30, Farmer, born Pennsylvania, father of foreign birth
Sarah, age 27, At home, born Ohio

Couldn't find James and family in 1850 or 1860, although did find a James Watson and family in 1860, of the right names and ages living in Euclid, Cuyahoga, Ohio which could well be yours.
1900 census, Euclid, Cuyahoga, Ohio
Head, John Wenban, age 59 born July 1840 in Pennsylvania, father born England, mother born Pennsylvania, Farmer, owns farm.
Wife, Sara E, age 57 born January 1843 in Ohio, parents born Massachusetts
They have been married for 36 years and do not have any children.
I have not found an Edward Wenban at all (he doesn't appear on the 1827 manifest either) but have found Simeon Wenban
Hope this helps
Yvonne
