Thanks for that information Lisa.

I have the 2003 posting and have tried without success to make contact with the originator, a Debra Kelly. This is certainly my Great great uncle as most of the information ties in with an entry on "one world tree".

WWW was certainly in the UK in 1881 census, and his first wife Alice Spencer did not die until 1883/84.

Any sign if his two children that emigrated with him?

Do you have this family tree on Ancestry? Someone named Ron does.

Some of the info from the above link:
"...William Waddilove (sp?) Whitaker. Family lore says he was born in England, married and had several children. His wife died, he came to Nova Scotia, Canada where he met and married Christina Stuart..."

Ronald, someone in 2003 was looking for a William Waddilove Whitaker.
http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?forum=wadlow&url=%2Fwadlow%2F&path
=%2Fwadlow%2F&terms=waddilove&boolean=AND

If that link doesn't work, I found it trying a google search for "William Waddilove Whitaker". (Note, I added a line return to the link, so it would fit onto the page.)

I will look for him in Boston, also.

William Waddilove Whitaker, b 1852, Hebden, Yorkshire emigrated to USA around 1885 with his two sons James b1875 Marsden Lancashire and John William b1878, Marsden. Is anyone able to offer details of their entry to the USA and any further detaill of there new life. I believe they were around the Boston area. Thanks, Ron
