Hi everyone. I haven't been around for a while, but am now trying to help a friend trace her family and have become stuck with William Lincoln Parry, born about 1872/3 in USA.
I have him in 1901 in Altrincham Cheshire, aged, 28, with his mother Ellen Parry, a widow aged 53, born Elland Yorkshire.
In 1891 Ellen is in Altrincham, a servant aged 43 (widow). William is a printer's apprentice in Ardwick Lancs, aged 18, born America.
I can see Ellen (widow) in 1881, in Stretford Lancs - but no sign of William. He would have been around 8 years of age at this time, so it seems odd that he's not with his mother.
I've also found a possible christening on the IGI - 31 Oct 1872 Pittsburgh Allegeny PA, William L. Parry, parents William H. and Ellen Parry. Is anyone able to look if this family is listed on any of the US Census?
If I'm asking the impossible, please accept my apologies, but I don't have much experience of US research and know that lots of you are super-sleuths!
Cheers
Janet C
