I recall my Mum being able to speak a few words of Portuguese learned from her grandfather. She once told me that her grandfather, William Bagshaw of Horwich, Lancs, had spent many years out in Brazil and had learned the language himself.
The 1891 census shows another William, aged 7, born in Brazil but also a British subject now that the family were back in England.
I wondered if anyone had any ideas as to how I might be able to get more information on great-grandfather William while he was out in Brazil? I know he was a boiler-maker and that he was accompanied abroad by his wife Hannah.
