William and Mary Ann NEWPORT, emigrated, with their family, to the USA sometime after the 1901 census and before 1931. Is it possible to find when they emigrated knowing only the names of the family members and their ages (from the 1901 census)? They were living, I believe, in Hampstead but I have no idea where they would have left from or where they would have arrived in the States. The task sounds impossible to me but I've been surprised in the past so, I thought, someone may know of a way. I don't know where to start. John

John, I found William and Mary Ann (assuming William is born 1869 and is a wood carver) on the 1930 census. It says they immigrated in 1920. Looks like they went to Canada first and then sailed to US.

Hi John The family are quite straightforwardly traceable before and after their emigration to the USA, using a combination of the 1911 census (available on pay per view at www.findmypast.com), the civil registration indices (via www.freebmd.org.uk) and Ancestry's collection of immigration records and US censuses. I am happy to offer concrete information, but I hesitate to spoil your fun! Contact me off list if you would like further pointers.

Hi Caroline, Thanks for your email. I've just said to Katie that I didn't know where I could see the 1911 census except on Ancestry but now I know about 'find-my-past' Thanks Caroline - it's only fun now I've found something after all these years! Thanks for your offer of help. I really am grateful!
