Sylvia that looks very promising! I shall follow it up! As I understand it, your findings suggest that these two entries could refer to the same person (Amable is a frequent misrecording of Anable) Leaving the UK in 1906 and returning in 1909. At the least I need to eliminate him from my enquiries....

Hi Simon, Even if they are not your man, I have found in genealogy that a negative is a positive by elimination!! Happy Hunting Sylvia (Perth) Simon wrote: > that looks very promising!

Hi Simon, It's me again! I was on FreeBMD just now and put in your Francis Anable, just in case, and I found the following: Marriages Mar 1910 Annable Francis Joseph Nottingham 7b 645 BROWN Celia Nottingham 7b 645 Then I went to the 1911 census and found this: 1911 - RG14PN20617 RG78PN1231 RD430 SD4 ED25 SN166 7 Chances Villas Chancer Street Nottingham NTT CHAMBERLIN, Harold Head Married M 31 1880 Fruiterer Nottingham CHAMBERLIN, Priscilla Wife Married F 31 1880 Assisting In The Business Nottingham CHAMBERLIN, Laura Daughter Single F 9 1902 Nottingham CHAMBERLIN, Sybil Daughter Single F 7 1904 Nottingham CHAMBERLIN, Phylis Daughter Single F 5 1906 Nottingham BROWN, Maria Mother In Law Widow F 65 1846 Earith Huntingham BROWN, John Brother In Law Single M 27 1884 Fruiterer Nottingham BROWN, Ada Sister In Law Single F 25 1886 Blouse Machinist Nottingham BROWN, Florence Sister In Law Single F 23 1888 Stationary Printer Nottingham *ANNABLE, Celia Sister In Law Married F 29 1882 Nottingham ANNABLE, Lilian Niece Single F 0 (6 MONTHS) 1911 Nottingham ANNABLE, Ada Niece Single F 0 (6 MONTHS) 1911 Nottingham B*ut I couldn't find a Frank/Francis that fitted in at all. Again it could be a false lead, Sylvia (my friends say that I am like a dog with a bone when I get my teeth into something!!)

That Francis J Annable on the passenger list seems to be the same fellow on the U.S. WWI draft registrations. He was b 21 Jan 1880, living in Washington DC, and from the city of Nottingham. He was a foreman carpenter and he is still in Washington on the 1920 census. On the draft form he called himself a foreman carpenter. He came back into the U.S. on the Cedric 17 Apr 1910 and had a wife in Nottingham. He was 30 and gave his place of birth on the passenger list as Derby. If you want any more from these sources, just let me know. Liane
