Looking for emigration of Henry Collamore

[snowch]

I’m looking for Emigration records (not naturalisation records) for Henry Collamore.

(Familysearch is a non-profit - can I post links?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry,can't help with emigration records but thought I should mention that you shouldn't believe everything on FamilySearch family tree records. Anyone can - and does - get at them and muddle them. I tried sorting the errors people made with my family but had to give up

When and where was he born and where did he emigrate too? - America, New Zealand, Australia.......

Really good to know - thanks, @Squaredancer!

Following your link through to the 1860 US census Henry Colinore, his wife Susan and three sons eldest 18 (can't read his name), George 9 born England, Albert? 4 born Illinois are living in Dement, Ogle, Illinois.
So they emigrated approximately between 1850/51 and 1856.
There is a created field done January 24, 2023 giving them as US citizens. Do you know when this occurred? Found it - 1869.
They are on the 1851 UK census so looking for immigration after that and before the US 1860. Did henry return to England after the death of his wife before 1881 but after 1870?
UK census 1851
Henry Collamore 40 Head
Susan Collamore 38 Wife
Elizabeth Collamore 11 daughter
William Collamore 9 son
Edward Collamore 5 son
Susan Edwards 17 visitor
John Edwards 22 lodger

Did all this then you beat me to it
I asked did Henry return to the UK because there is a Henry Collamore in 1881 UK census with a wife Ann, retired farmer. Is he another Henry?
Susan's headstone only has her death as March, the year evidently worn away.

I can't see an 1880 US census for Henry as yet. Do you have it.

Hi Christanel, thanks for the looking into this.

I haven't started working on verifying the 1881 census yet.

I have a death certificate that I'm trying to verify. I've uploaded it here: https://www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/180337534

I can't make out the nephew's name - J F Doelc?

[Squaredancer]

I can't make out the nephew's name - J F Doelc?

Surname could be Lock?

[christanel]

Surname could be Lock?

Yes! I had a look at the certificate and that was my first thought too. The initials a bit more difficult but could be S J. Not confident on that though.
