I have today found a death announcement in an old bible of a relative who moved to america. His name is Thomas Lee who was born 1865 Rotherham. He married Agnes Geerke in I think Newark New Jersey. Does anyone have access to who he went to america with? and what his whereabouts were in the early 1900's. I also have Thomas Richardson who left England maybe around 1913 for Newark he was born around 1899 he married Thomas and Agnes Lee's daughter Florence and died 1950 Newark. Do we know who he went with I think his father was John Richardson and mother Lillian. Any help greatly appreciated thanks Liz |

Have you tried the Ellis Island site at www.ellisisland.org You have to register but it is free and there are quite a few Thomas Lee's and also Thomas Richardsons. Sam x |
