Barry i found them ok,you'll notice my GGM is not listed as a widow,according to the marriage certs i have here in Oz Michael was deceased by abt 1910,i'm wondering if he went back to America as there was definately relatives there in 1910,i'm also a bit suspicious about his qualifications,in 1881 he was an engineer & 1891 census he is a coal porter.

Any idea when he came to the UK. I can't even see a likely family in the 1860 US census.
