    Default William John Richards and family Illogan

    William John Richards born 1887 is the son of William John Richards born 1857,at Illogan Cornwall.
    FindMyPast newspaper has Mr and Mrs WJ Richards returning to the USA by the Majestic on August 25th 1926 after visiting Mr and Mrs WJ Richards for 3 months at Illogan. ( His parents I presume)
    Is it possible to find the incoming manifest please because I would like to know how many times he returned to Cornwall. He first emigrated in 1913.
    I found the 1926 manifest where he returns to the States but I would like to know how many times he returned to Cornwall.
    William's brother Richard H born 1889 emigrated to the States and I have information about him but I wonder if someone could help find any information about another brother James born 1894 Illogan.
    There is also a sister called Janie born 1896 at Illogan I know nothing about.
    James and Janie are last seen in the 1911 census.

    I think there may be more than one William J Richards born c1887 which could complicate things.

    Thanks for that info. he is the one. 1930 census has him as a fireman at a power company and 1940 he is an engineer.
    William married Mary Ann Eustice Wills.
    WW2 draft card has no mention of his wife as next of kin.
    I have no idea when either of them died.
