I have been asked to post a request for a work collegue who is looking for information on when a person came to the UK and how.
All the information I have is as follows;
"his name is James Mathew Saffront, have also seen it spelt Saffrunt , Safront and Saffrant.
Estimated birth date 1868 although this does vary as his age seems to change at will and have seen it as 1873. He was married first time in Cardiff in 1894 to Emma Hookings
He then appears in 1908 marrying again in Southwark to Alice Turner
He is on 2 census 1 in 1901 showing he is living in london brithplace West Indies and on the 1911 showing living in I think Walworth with Alice Saffront nee Turner and their daughter Alice Saffront (Nigels grandmother).
He dies in 1927 last quarter and Alice re-marries in 1928 to Sidney J Richardson
Would love to find out how he came here although nationality is british in 1901 census not sure if parents were both british or could it have been mixed as it were. Anything you can find much appreciated."
Looks like a passenger list check needed and I do not have a subscription to access that, so if anyone is bored........................??? ;)
Thanks
