Hi I just found that lol - also just found the same family I think in NY on 1880 census - just having trouble copying it.

Fab Sarah Ann Glover that might help link some names - thanks

So Williams and Sarah married in stoke - wonder if one of them was from there originally & not Shropshire born.

(have we done some Glover Surname before?, Mayo Street seems familiar!)

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.

Back to the beginning lol

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

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

Who are below 1871?...(Staffordshire for Birthplaces)

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.

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

Chris :)

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

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 :)

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

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

Didn't know who you were linking Arthur to? (whether his Surname, or Mother Maiden Name in your 'Tree')

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)
