Thanks very much for your help.

Can anyone tell me if there are any websites or forums where I can post a 'trying to find in USA'

I have sent off for Thomas's birth certificate, but really I need to go forwards to when he was in America and started his new life. On his sons marriage cert is says Thomas was a policeman.

Grateful for any help.

Meryl

Meryl

I don't see any obvious ones. There are a lot of Thomas Nortons.

Rose

Rose - Unfortunatley I dont have access to worldwide ancestry.

Ann- His name Thomas Norton born East Dereham, Norfolk c 1877, I found him on the1881 and 1901 census, He deserted his Ship HMS Warspite at San Diego in 1901.

thanks Meryl

do you wish to give his name and what other information you have on him? someone may find something for you then

Ann

Try Ancestry. He should be on the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses.

You don't list details so I can't help.

Rose

My Husbands G.Grandfather deserted his Ship in 1901 in San Diego, any idea's on how to go about tracing him please?
Cheers Meryl
