    1. [DBY] Finding my ancestor's immigration record
    2. Mrs Watson
    3. Hello After being sentenced to three months imprisonment, my gt gt grandfather, William Naylor of Bakewell left for New York in Jan 1897, arriving there on 2 Feb 1897. I can't find when he returns to England. it must have been in 1897 as his son was born in Bakewell in June 1898. I don't have any reason to think the child wasn't his. In Nov 1898 he is at Bakewell Petty Sessions, and in Jan 1899 he died in Bakewell. I've searched passenger arrival records for 1897/8, including variant spellings, but can't find him anywhere. I am wondering, since he had been sentenced to prison, is it likely that he would be listed somewhere else if he was arrested when he arrived in the UK? I'd like to find out when he arrives back to see if he did in fact serve his prison sentence, so any suggestions would be most welcome. Many thanks Janie
