I suppose its a possibility he could have changed his occupation. I am wondering if he emigrated to USA Canada or Australia but I don't know how to find the records.

William Henry Menzies was a great great uncle.

Diana,

As Menzies can be pronounced in radically different ways you may need to look for very variant spellings.

You say he was your ancestor........is that in a direct line?

Or was he related to a direct ancestor?

Hi Glitterbaby
Yes there was one .I deleted it as I had no response and I have found if I leave a query for a few hours they never get a reply so I thought I would re write my request for help

Really strange as I thought there was a thread earlier today about William Henry Menzies

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England. Researching Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland.

I have traced an ancestor to 1861 census and then no further record. I can't see that they died. Born 1841 in Manchester William Henry Menzies., son of William and elizabeth. Any ideas where I could look?
