Hi Liz,   I searched on FamilySearch for children of John and Sarah Ann SIMS born Michigan and found the following which, I think, supports your theory that John and Sarah did go to America:   Texas Deaths John George SIMS Death 6 Jan 1931, Waco, McLennan, Texas Birth date 10 Jul 1881 Michigan Father's name John J SIMS Mother's name Sarah Ann WHITE https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/K33M-Y4Q   You can search for Maritime Deaths on Findmypast but have to pay to view.   http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/maritime/deaths   Regards,   Joy   ________________________________ From: liz and john <lizmax@optusnet.com.au> To: CORNISH@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, 11 September 2012, 9:33 Subject: [CORNISH] George White and Ann williams Hi All, I am new to this list and Cornwall research so I am hoping that someone can help me. My great grandfather's Brother George White was born in Great Bentley,Essex in 1821 to William White and Sarah On the 1861 census he  is age 40 a Mariner with wife Ann  born Constantine, Cornwall and daughter Sarah ann age 5 1871 ann is a widow  age 43 and Sarah Ann is 14 I have found Ann on the 1881.1891.1901 In  1911 Ann is 85 her occ is private meand and Old Age Pension.It also says that sh only had 1 child and the child is still living. I found a Death  1922 for Ann White  age 95 Falmouth On 'Constantine,Cornwall Family History Society" I  found t Parish records  for Marriage Banns for George White age 29,Mariner living in Port Navas, Father William White and Ann Williams age 27 living in Port Navas. father Edward Williams I have also found the Marriage in 1879 of John Sims age 31 a miner living in Constantine  Father William Sims and Sarah Ann White age 23 Living in Constantine father George White Mariner. I have not been able to find John and Sarah Ann after their marriage in England so decided to look elsewhere and found on the 1900 census John Sims a farrier ? and wife Sarah A living in Texas  with 2 children George  age 18 a farm labourer and Eilleen age 10 both born in Michigan. with parents born in England. I am hoping that some one on the list knows of this family and whether or not they did go to America as I have not been able to find them on a passenger list.or can direct me as to where I can look. Also I haven't been able to find a death for George White who going by the census died between 1861 and 1871. Has anyone any suggestions as to where I could find his death.If he died at sea are there any local registers of seamen for that period.
