My ancestors emigrated from England in 1881 to Pennsylvania USA. I have the father and 2 children in 1900, but can't find anything after that date. I can't find any death records for himself or his wife, or any marriages for their children.

I have searched the LDS site with no luck at all.

Anyone got any ideas please?
Regards Lou

Update; details

Cornelius E Baker b 1850 England head Engineer/ Machinest
Lydia Baker b 1849 Wales Uk wife
Sarah Baker b 1870 Wales UK daughter
Arthur Baker b 1872 Wales Uk son

Polly Baker b 1877 Wales UK daugh
Harriet Hannah b 1880 Sussex England daugh

Ann of Green Gables,

That's them the emigrated just after the census was taken. I have their emigration papers and details of Cornelius, Edward and Bessie in the 1900 census. But can't find them after then.

I don't know if it's possible for find them in 1891 as this would help to see if any passed away. Lydia must have been alive to have 2 more children, and as far as I can see on the 1900 census it states that Cornelius is M (Married) so Lydia must be around somewhere even if they divorced. I cna't find them on any passenger lists returning to England either.

Regards, Lou
