I have recently found out that a rellie went to the USof A and possibly married there and had children and died there. He is Charles Stewart Fairbairn born 1889 Croydon, Surrey Wife possibly called Florence and son possibly Donald born USofA about 1923. I am told that they lived in New York, possibly Bronx. Is anyone able to help me with some American bmd/census lookups or direct me to where I may get help? Thanks for any help in advance, Roger GC
