1900 census look up.

[Robert Charles]

Can any kind person do a 1900 United States Federal Census Record look up for a Mary Hewson,if its the one I'm looking for she was born in West Bromwich,Staffordshire,England. Sorry thats all I have. Robert.

[Astoria]

Do you have anything else, approximate age, who might she be with, who did she leave behind, records of sailings, area/state she might have been living.

There are a few possibles if can just narrow it down a bit.

[Robert Charles]

Sorry I can't help a bit more,Mary would be over fifty born abt 1847, she would be a widow,thats about it. Robert

[Astoria]

Do you think she was widowed in England or America and do you have her on any English censuses.

[Robert Charles]

Mary married Edward Hewson 1870 West Bromwich,Edward (d)1889 West Brom,on census 51,61 & 71 with son Edward J, I think thats about it. Robert.

[Astoria]

OK, I shall explore and return |wave|

[Robert Charles]

Thats very kind of you,Thanks Robert.

[Astoria]

Nothing is jumping out at me, can I ask why you think she may have travelled to America?

[Robert Charles]

Desperation! Although Edward died 1889,I lost them after 1871 census ?? plus I had a hint spring up.for U S census. Robert.

[Astoria]

Desperation sometimes equals results I found one of mine in New Jersey.

Do you have the references for the English census entries, I'll get acquainted with Mary and see if I can help. :)

[Robert Charles]

Never used ref numbers before,hope these are what you want. Mary Davies 1851 ref HO 107/2026. 1861 ref RG9/2026. Mary Hewson 1871 ref RG10/2979. Robert.

[Astoria]

I am on the case, might not have an answer or help tonight but I'll stick with it. |wave|

Loose my net connection when the Grandson goes to bed and switches off his computer,then work all day,back on the lap-top in the evening so sorry no contact since last night.Hard to say about the census finds no concrete links (we have to feel convinced don't we ) feel sure to 1871. Robert.
