Thank you!

The family were from Frieston in Lincolnshire and yes, MarieCeleste, I expect them to be travelling with brothers. George aged 12 is definitley a brother but not sure who the other two are - maybe cousins?! Can I ask you to possible forward me a origional copy if I pm you my email?

And yes the 1871 is definitley them - James wife died in 1869 so he didn't wait long to emmigrate. Unless, he did so before she died, but family lore states he went after her death.

Can you spot him on the passenger lists?

Arrival of James?

The writing is shocking and all abbreviated, but he was a farmer and was travelling with Geo age 12 Tho (or Jno) age 24 and Geo age 20.

Who might you have expected him to travel with?

Whereabouts were the family from?

Hi there,

I am hoping someone with access to Ancestry World can help me please.

I am wondering to see who else travelled with the following Charles Broughton on his journey to America:

Name: Chas Broughton
Arrival Date: 21 Apr 1857
Birth Year: abt 1829
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/Race­/Nationality: British (English)
Place of Origin: Great Britain
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Destination: United States of America
Port of Arrival: New York
Port Arrival State: New York
Port Arrival Country: United States
Ship Name: City of Washington
Search Ship Database: Search the City of Washington in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database


Also, I am looking for the above Charles' FATHER, James BROUGHTON, (1801-1880), who emmigrated about 1869 when his wife died. Can anyone spot him and his Canadian Death cert from March 1880?

Any other census info that maybe provided would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Peter
