Now that's interesting, wonder why the image differs from the info? Transcription error I guess. Don't suppose you can see Lydia and James with more children in the 1930 census by any chance - might be able to see a connection with names carried on in the family, or possible district they were living. Sorry to be a pain, and thanks for your time.

Gerald, the image shows both parents are born in England.

Thanks Everyone, Will try the Historical society google search. Thanks for that Rose, I am sure he is the correct son, pity no children though! Don't believe this to be "my" Lydia though, as both parents born in England.
Good to know folk like you all are willing to give a little time to help.
Thanks again.

Try googling the area where they were last known to be, for a local Historical society.

If you can make contact, they may be willing to find obituaries or other newspaper articles for you, which could name the next generation.
If there is then an unusual name amongst them, perhaps through a marriage, you or the historian might be able to look them up on line.

Because one of the descendents of part of my emigrant family had a unique name, we were able to contact him. He was thrilled and had loads of family photos he was able and willing to share.

Thanks Elizabeth, I have noted the address and will be taking a look.

Not sure of any that is free-you could try googleing "USA People Search" if you have not already tried it

I am still hopeful of one day finding living descendents of my greats who emigrated in the late 1800's, so far can only track as far as the 1930 USA census, but there must be some later folk out there somewhere! They would be family of Albert William and Mary Ann Hughes born in the 1860's in Smethwick Staffs, emigrated to Connecticut, also found them in Maryland, children Lydia, Albert William, Herbert Sidney, Ethel and Ralph W. I have thought of maybe contacting a local newspaper who's readers may have info or can help point me in the right direction to find elusive family , maybe folk like us interested in tying up loose family ends. This is (one) of my niggling family searches, always eating away in the background.
Can anyone help me by way of providing the contact (i.e.) addresss of any newspapers local to those areas. Would really appreciate any info.
Thanks Karen.
