There are lots of records available for Mormon pioneers. Try googling the name and Mormon pioneers.
Also Utah death certificates available free here:

Thankyou Margaret, Will try your suggestions.

Regards Sylvia

Thanks for all previous advise.
U have found death certificates for the families concerned and on them, quite helpfully, it tells me how long they have lived in USA . This hopefully will give a lead to trace passenger lists. One of the families arrived there in 1926.
Please can someone point me in the right direction.

Thankyou Sylvia

Would they have arrived in New York? Ellis Island site is free, you just have to register.

Thanks for all advice. Search OVER for this one. They went from Liverpool to Salt Lake via QUEBEC on the MONTCALM.
Kind gentleman on ancestry found it, don't know how, But thats team work for you. You have all been great but I would never of thought of Quebec !!!

Thankyou again, have learnt so much from you.

Sylvia,if you have found the Death Certs, does it say where they were buried.
I live in Salt Lake and can get to quite a few of the Cemetaries,if their buried in one close by i could get you photo's if you would like.
