Hi Ken, I have looked in the US censuses from 1900 through 1930. I found no Edwin Herbert Nock in any of them where Edwin was born in England. I suspect that with an English accent, he would have had difficulty passing himself off as born in the US! However there are fairly few Nock families generally (less that 100 to search in most cases) and they are concentrated in the Eastern Seaboard region, or the Northeast area of the country. There are a few Emma Nock entries but she was associated with other spouse names. I also searched for Herberts, Herbert Edwins, and Olives, as well with no success. However, I did find three entries for Robert Nock. All had been born in England. (The country of origin is all the US Censuses ask for. They do not require details.) Two entries I thought were not useful. The third Robert Nock entry was interesting; but I am NOT CONVINCED that it is for the right Robert Nock and will probably not be useful to you. 1930 Census: Robert Nock; born 1894 England as were his parents; married to Constance; residence Plandome, Nassau, New York; occupation: secretary in a petroleum company. Is it possible that the family moved on to Mexico about 10 years later than you thought and perhaps Robert didn't make the move with them? Or, could Robert have moved back to the US? Finally, I found the following entry on Ancestry.com in the New York Passenger Lists, 1820 - 1957 database. I think you will find this somewhat interesting. The document is entitled: List or Manifest of Alien Passengers for the United States Immigration Office Port of Arrival. The document is two pages (a split image). SS Rotterdam sailing from Plymouth, March 31, 1919 arriving Port of New York April 11, 1919. Robert Nock, age 25, male, single, employee (of whom it doesn't say) Literacy: reads & writes, Nationality/Country of which citizen or subject: England Permanent Residence: Tampico, Mexico Name and address of nearest relative or friend in country whence alien came: A. E. Morgan, Broadwell, Wallington, Stamped Non-Immigrant Alien Final Destination: Tampico, Mexico Ticket to final destination: No Passage paid by: self In possession of at least $50.00 US: yes Whether ever before in US and if so, when and where: yes, in transit Whether going to join a relative or friend and if so, what relative or friend, and his name and address: In transit to Tampico, Mexico Ever in prison, almshouse, supported by charity: No Polygamist: No Anarchist: No Planning employment in US: No Condition of Health: Good Deformed or Crippled: No Height: 5 feet 10 inches Complexion: Fair Hair color: Brown Eye color: Blue Identifying markings: None Place of Birth: England Town: Bailey Hill (Is this anywhere reasonable?) If you think this might be "your" Robert Nock, let me know and I will see if Robert made other documented trips. Cheers, Carolyn in Minnesota, USA
