Hi, All I have hit the hardest stonewall. I am trying to find information that may help me find out who my gg grandfather's Reuben William Stables mother was & where he was really born. I know that both of his parants were born in Eng and that his father's name was Elihu Reuben Stables. I know that my gg gfather was born in the US (said to have been KY) in 1854 but I can not seem to locate him in the 1860 or the 1870 US census or 1861 or 1871 UK census. I was able to locate him in the 1881 UK census and found his name spelled wrong but all other information matched 100%. I was able to locate his wife and children immigration records but I could not find him with them or alone. The next time I was able to locate him was in the 1900 Phila Co., Phila. City wd 36. He showed up in 1910 living in the city of Alden. I was able to locate his wife in 1920 Montgomery Co., Pa listed as a widow. I have tried sending a letter along with a check for a copy a death records but since I did not have a exact date of death I just wasted my money. Can some kind soul please tell me how can I find out when Reuben passed. As I have even contacted the archives with no reply. I have been trying to locate this information for over a year. I know that Reuben & his wife died in PA Thanks in advance for all your kind help God bless Diane power2000@pstel.net
