I have a uncle, member of the Salvation Army, on hubby's mothers side who migrated from Liverpool to New York on the ETRURIA 6 August 1904 with his wife - no info on her. I think I found him on Ancestry 1910 USA Census, Frederick COUSINS b.1870 South Creake, Norfolk, but don't have subscription for USA. Is there anyone willing to trade a USA search for a UK search on Ancestry? Fingers crossed. Kristeen

I will have a look

I cant find him on the 1910 but on the 1920 there are two that could be him Name: Frederick Cousins [Frederick Connors] Home in 1920: Weldon, Halifax, North Carolina Age: 49 years Estimated birth year: abt 1871 Birthplace: England Relation to Head of House: Head Spouse's name: Edith J Father's Birth Place: England Mother's Birth Place: England Marital Status: Married Race: White Sex: Male Home owned: Rent Year of Immigration: Un Able to read: Yes Able to Write: Yes Image: 877 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Frederick Cousins 49 Edith J Cousins 38 Harold F Cousins 7 Gordon S Cousins 3 8/12 View Original Record View original image View blank form Source Citation: Year: 1920;Census Place: Weldon, Halifax, North Carolina; Roll: T625_1303; Page: 5A; Enumeration District: 52; Image: 877. and......

I have just notice the second one left England in 1914 so that might rule him out Melvyn

Thanks for that Melvyn, I'll now go search for a marriage and see if I can find the wife to confirm it's him. I've a feeling someone said he lived in Rhode Island or some Island in New York.I suppose I could ask the Sallie Army if they keep records. Looking for Horace Eric Hooper without much success. I assume you've looked at FreeBMD. Kristeen

Kristeen: I have rellies who were in the Salvation Army (in Canada) during the early-mid 1900's. Have you tried doing a search (google or something similar) for information? I believe I was able to find a couple of articles using a google search. (Might be more difficult for you, though, with that last name.)
