Between FMP and Ancestry, should be more for things America, Passenger, Naturalization Records perhaps...

(Ancestry, Naturalization, 1892, his Birthdate as 3/4/1869. Given Date of Arrival 1872)

Catharine Bridgwood with a father Arthur is defo the right line:)

On his daughters birth cert - Catharine he is stated as born in England

Sorry don’t get what you mean how am I getting him in America :) ie am I sure he went to America - yeh his descendants are living there but have English roots :)

How are you getting to Arthur in America?...(Surname, Bridgwood, Glover?)

Chris :)

(1921 US Census, Arthur now states 1870 for Immigration year)

Hmmm that’s interesting - wonder if one of the parents were in American then came back for Arthur & Edward (?)

The Fredrick name doesn’t really tie with that William & Sarah only 1880 census tho.

Oh ok so Edward & Arthur won’t be found on English census then or 1881 because they more than likely were already in America !

(gives year of Immigration as 1871. Yes to being Naturalized)

Think I need to find the English census with Edward Bridgewood on !

Think this is probably the right family living in America 1880 so that other 1880 family wrong but almost duplicate but there is 8 years difference in age inter two Williams.
