Debra: William H. and his father Albert born in England could be listed on Free BMD. Not all the English vitals have been transcribed but thousands are. You will have to search county by county for possible matches unless you know where in England they came from. Jones will yield more hits than can be displayed otherwise. If you should get a match, you can order the certificates from the Gov't Records Office via credit card on line. http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ Also, try a look-up request to an Ancestry subscriber for a check of NY Passenger Lists 1851-1891 or better still, if you can make the time, do one of the 14 day free trials to access the databases yourself. Try the census again but look for variations of the names such as Bill, Henry William, Mary, Agusta Maria, Marie, Janes and wild card searches. My own Francis became Frank on one census and due to the gov't scribbles over the names on one census year, Hubby's grandparents' surname is totally alien on the Ancestry search index to what it really was. Happy 4th!

Linda: Thank you for the heads-up on the Free BMD. It will take some time but that is what research is all about. My sister and I are both working on angles of this very popular name. Appreciate the assistance.
