Hello I have three sisters who I am trying to figure out when they went to the US. Their father Harper POTTER arrived in New York 1889 but he apparently first went to Belgium. (Was going to Belgium first a common occurance?) He did not travel with his wife, nor his children. By 1900 he was widowed and living with his daughters in New Jersey. Could someone please check the 1891 and see if his wife is still living at that time and if his children are still in England or if they went to Belgium too? Annie Elizabeth POTTER born Nov 1883 (Royston) Beatrice Emily POTTER born Jan 1886 (Royston) Helen Margaret POTTER born Feb 1888 (Royston) His wife was Elizabeth CLEMENTS born c 1857 Baldock, Hert (Dau of Charles and Elizabeth (COUCH?)CLEMENTS) Thank you so much Sandra in Ontario
