I have found through the WW1 records of James Mawdsley, that his brother William was living in America by the end of that war.

William was born in 1885 in Bootle, and i have looked through the passenger lists of ships going to the States from 1905 to 1920 and have founfd a couple of William Mawdsley`s, but none fit the info i have.

How can I find if he is on a USA census?
