Harriet and children left for New York in 1852 (see #11) I haven't looked for William on passenger lists yet, I'm assuming he left before his wife

Thanks Alma I have found lots of info but was waiting for Ronaldmac to come back to us I have next generation back as well but we do not know what he already has

Sandyhall,
Have previously found most of the info. you have posted. We are trying to find where they died and their parents

[Sandyhall]

His parents and siblings are all on Family Search "The Church of the Latterday Saints" Web site.

If you have a tree on Ancestry and you have shared other trees please review your information as all the hits for trees that I looked at have wrong information in them. Especially births and marriages.

We have been looking for records here. That is what is frustrating.

We have been looking for records here. That is what is frustrating.

What is frustrating is that you're seemingly rejecting our offers of help. You have certain information on William and Harriet which you could easily tell us, instead of which you seem to expect us to look for it ourselves. Which not all of us can do - we all have limits on the information we can access (e.g. I have very limited access to the US censuses) and knowledge of certain areas (both geographically and of research).

So, where has your knowledge of Wiliam and Hannah's death dates come from? Where were they living at the time of the various US census? Where were their children living in the US census?

Are you searching for their death records, or burials because they are not the same thing? Living in the US you should be more familiar with stuff such as death registrations than UK-based people, so where exactly have you looked? Are you assuming that all states have all recorded deaths prior to possibly 1925 online? And if so, have you checked that your assumption is correct?

To add to Pam's comments above:

I've been researching this thread for the last hour (I'm very slow!) and I quite easily found a death and a burial record for a William ONIONS in St Louis, Missouri. He might not be your man but he was the only one with the right origins and birth date! Also found the cemetery where he's buried and the plot number.

And you could have probably done it in five minutes if Ron had given us the information he has.
I did try to look on FamilySearch for William's death but without success, though admittedly I only spent a few minutes looking. The US is a big place, especially when you have no idea of which state you're searching in.

Just so happens I have a world-wide sub to research my Canadian cousins; and ONIONS is quite uncommon!

Where did you find cemetery and plot number? They did move a lot.
