I am looking for Francis Williams born 1849 Stennack, St. Ives and migrating to Michigan. I did not find him in the 1870 US census or the 1871 census. He is in Calumet in 1881 census and married to Margaret Eddy. He married her in 1878 in Michigan. In the 1900 census he lists PA, immigrated 1870, 30 yrs USA. (I don't know what PA stands for) In the 1910 census he lists NA for naturalized. I cannot find any info on his immigration. Does anyone have any ideas on how to find him. I looked on ancestry, my friend looked through the Canadian passenger lists, I looked today on findmypast, I have used steven morris website, Castle Gardens... I thought perhaps he went somewhere else first but findmypast doesn't have him leaving as far as I can tell. Does anyone have some ideas of where to look next? Thank you. The good part is I did find my great great grandfather and one of his sons leaving for South Africa so all my time was not wasted! Carolyn Haines Holt, Michigan 48842

A Francis Williams was baptised on 12 May 1848 at St Ives, and in the 1861 census, aged 11, was living at Stannack with his parents Francis Williams and Elizabeth Hosking. In the 1870 US federal census, there is a Francis Williams, 20-year-old miner born England, at Phillipstown, Putnam, New York. Have you ruled this Francis out?
