Hi, I am told my Great ...Grandfather, Samuel Royal, learned to become a Blacksmith while growing up in Weymouth as a young man. He emmigrated to the US around the age of 16 or so ( was born in 1841) Can anyone tell me where he might have learned his trade ?

So far I have John Royal from USA marring Lettica Harris 1 Jan 1826 Wyke Regis, Dorset, John is a Baker.
They have children
Lettice Royal (1827-1882) Not married
Margaret Royal (1830-) Marry to Thomas Samual Wallis (m1852)
Henry Thomas Royal (1833-)
John Royal (1835-) 1 week inprisonment + Whipped for Larceny 1849
Thomas Royal (1837-)
William Robert Royal (1839-) marry to Emily Bartlett (m1862)
Samuel Royal (1841-) Went to America (Your one)
Joseph Harris Royal (1844-) marry to Eliza Symes (m1869)
Did Henry Thomas 1833, John 1835 & Thomas 1837 go to America with Samuel
they are the only ones I cant find on the Census after 1851.

I have seen some of that other info too Sandy. I had been told some of the men emigrated to Australia and BC in Canada. Other than that...they just seem to have gone POOF !
