My G-grandfather William Winter came from England in (according to the 1900 census Yellow Creek Twp., Linn Co.) in 1848. He married my G-grandmother Harriett Mantle Wakefield in Aug. 1870 in Linn Co., MO. He doesn't appear in the 1870 census that was taken in July, one month before his marriage. Harriett is in the 1870 census. I also can't find William in any census for 1850 or 1860. I've checked the 1850 census in several states as shown at the Genealogylibrary.com website. I haven't been able to find a record of his application for naturalization although the census indicates he was naturalized. I also haven't been able to find a record for a passport, his obituary indicates he made 5 trips back to England (I just spent several days at the National Archives in Washingto, D.C.) His obituary states he came from Cumberland, England. I found a William Winter christened in March 1823 in Ousby, Eng. My g-grandfather was born in Feb. 1823. I haven't been able to link these two Williams. Paul
