    1. [PABUCKS] TINDALL family in Newtown
    2. Jennifer Gibson
    3. G'day All, This is my first foray into USA family history research - my direct line all hailing from the UK. On 17 April 1910 - two days after the 1910 USA Census, I understand - Gertrude Amy TINDALL, then 2 years old, arrived with her parents, John Oswald TINDALL, aged 37 years, and Lucy Eleanor TINDALL, aged 36 years, and brother, John Ronald TINDALL, aged 3 years, arrived in Philadelphia from England. Their final destination was reported to be Newtown. John Oswald may have migrated at the behest of a friend, Francis Courtney LOCKE, who had migrated in 1906, and was living at 69 South Chancellor Street, Newtown, Bucks, PA, at the time of the 1910 Census. John Oswald was a farmer and miller in England, and gives his occupation as farmer on the manifest of the ship on which he travelled, the SS Merion. I know nothing further of John and family's time in Newtown. What other sources of information are likely to be available for the period 1910-1921? John Oswald, Lucy and John Ronald had moved to Vancouver, BC, CAN, by April 1921, as Lucy died there that month. I have also found the death record for both Johns in Vancouver. However, I can find no trace of a death or marriage of Gertrude Amy in Vancouver. As she would ahve been 12 or 13 years old in 1921, it is unlikely that she married in PA before the family's move to Canada. Therefore, I assume she died in PA. Could sks please check the PA death records for the 1910-21 period for her death, or, alternatively, if there is one, give me a website so I can do the search myself. Hoping someone can assist me with these queries. Jenny Gibson, Toowoomba, Australia.

    3. I tried searching for the Tindall family in the 1910 and 1920 census'. I tried many different spellings. I even tried to search by using just first names, date of birth and place of birth, no luck. Are you sure they lived in the U.S.?
