Can anyone help me in accessing US records regarding immigration to US between 1890 and 1910. I have information from Ellis Island website but not all immigrants passed through
Thank You

I am still looking for Frank Bill born in 1856 in Walsall and left between 1894 and 1900. I have information from a very kind lady who has a record for someone in Chicago and I have information from Ellis Island records of another one and I want to know how I can take this further. I know the family ended up in Los Angeles at some stage.

Thank You

Jennifer

I was wondering if anyone could help in finding relatives of Alfred Ernest Bill I think he was known as Ernest who left England about 1890 and was living in Chicago in 1896, he was the brother of Frank Bill who I have been trying to trace for a while who I know lived in Chicago at that time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You dont give a birth year or place for him?

This looks quite likely for Mary. She was still with her mother in 1930 so she may never have married

Thank you Ginny for your help, this does seem to be the right track. Frank Bill was last known to be in Los Angeles and this does all seem to fit in. He is the one I am really trying to trace relatives for. If you have any more details for him I would be very grateful.

I know Alfred Ernest died in 1902 in Chicago he was about 42 at the time

Thank you again, most appreciated.

Im not sure if this is the same Frank that I posted for 1900? He has a different occupation on here he is a farmer and on the 1900 he is a clerk

Theres no sign of him later. When was he in LA?

In fact both those censuses look like they are not him as he was with wife Clara up to 1891 in the UK
