See where he turns up on them. You have his name and a birth date, and place of birth. That should be a good beginning. Your nearest LDS Family History Library will probably have copies of those census records. Since you know he left Scotland/England, you would need a time frame to look on passenger and immigration lists. If he came to America, he most likely came through Ellis Island. Those records are also listed on the internet for searching. Probably on the first census he would appear, would tell when he immigranted some times tells the town exactly. Best in your future research effort. Pat cw Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
