Hi My name is Trish and I live in Sydney. I wonder was there an 1871 census for Boston , could some one please have a look for Thomas Jennings Fawkner My grandfather went to Boston and was there working as a Deep Sea Diver either for the Navy or a firm building Docks etc. He was born in Clovelly Devon 1841 and arrived into Boston some time in the 1860 [would he in this time frame have joined the U.S.A Navy] His daughter Lilly was born Boston 1872 [the only proof I can find of her birth is as follows] The 1881 Falmouth census "Lilly Fawkner b 1872 Boston MA."{back living with gather Matthew aged 9 years ] Thomas death certificate 1907 Sydney states:: Lilly daughter by previous marriage born Boston USA aged 33. 1st marriage Boston Wife unknown.[This information is from one of his sons from second marriage] I have found Annie Fawkner 30 , Lilly 4 and inf Marg, arriving back into Boston in 1876 on the "China".on the 7th October. I have contacted the Archives M.A but they could find nothing at all for me This is my brick wall Thomas Jennings Fawkner married again in 1879 to Margaret Corrigan {have found she also arrived Boston the same year as the" China" but on the" Parthia" and 1879 they arrived in Sydney Australia I would be grateful if any one could find the tiniest little bit for me. Thank you Trish in Sydney

I searched for FAWKNER in 1870 in the Heritage Quest censuses for Massachusetts, but there were none listed at all. I tried looking for FAULKNER. There were many of them, but no Thomas or Jennings FAULKNER.
