Hello , I am trying the list again as I had no response to my first request. I amhoping I can get some suggestions on finding my brick wall - John Reynolds. He was born in England 1 dec 1837 but I have no idea where. I tend to think it 'may be' in the Yorkshire area where his wife was born. Gertrude Pritchard was born 1854 in Up Norwood, Croydon, Yorkshire. I have all of Gertrudes family information. John immigrated to USA in 1860-68 from England and Gertrude immigrated in 1888 according to 1900 US Census. The only time I have found John is on the 1900 census in Oyster Bay, Nassau, NY with his famiy. I have not found any trace of him other than that. I cant even find the children in school and have checked census for US & England. I have all the information on their girls but not much on Richard.. Richard b: 29 apr, 1891 New York (I heard he was born on ship coming from England but have found no proof) Census says he was born New York. Winnifred b: 27 jun, 1897 Brooklyn May b: 29 aug, 1899 Brooklyn On the 1901 England Census Gertrude was at her parents house with May. Where was hubby John, Richard and Winnifred ? Kids could be in school .. but also in 1901 she was on ship with May and Winifred coming from England to PA - obviously to see John as the whole family was on 1900 USA Census at Oyster Bay .. where was Richard - still in school ? At home with John ? Did she pick him up at relative in PA and take all take all the kids to John in Oyster Bay ? On the 1900 US Census it also states that John & Gertrude married 11 years which makes it 1889 ? My Uncle who had the family bible and gave it to his daughter (I have never seen it and daughter says she doesnt have it) said there was a marraige date for John Reynolds in 1876. I have searched every record I can think of and also marriages and can find none. I was wondering if maybe John had been married before Gertrude ? I found Gertrude again in Stratford, Ontario, Canada with her children. She is buried in Avondale Cemetery in Canada and Johns name is on the stone but the cemetery says he is not buried there ? I hope someone can please steer me in the right direction as where to go next ? Thankyou kindly for any suggestions or assistance. Joanne
