A great uncle emigrated from England to the USA -via Canada around 1920. I have found his family of 6 recorded in the 1930 census living in Antelope Township, LA, California. His death was recorded in 1963.

Does anyone know how to search forward from that information?

David

Hi David.
What was his name ? Social Security records of his death should give his address at the time of his death. His death certificate should name his next of kin who you could follow up on. If you let me know his name , I can check for you.
I live in California.

Hi Rose

Many thanks for all that good info.

I was aware of some of it - but I do not have the Brett data in your last post.

Regarding your information about Raymond Hooper that is very good news. I will pm you tomorrow about that.

Finally, does Ancestry US give you access to all that information? I only have the UK version.

Regards - David

Hi Margaret

Thank you for your kind offer to do some look-ups for me. It looks like Rose might have found Raymond for me. If so he will be 85 years of age!

Regards - David

Hi David,

This is all from Ancestry World deluxe.
