Can anyone help please - I am looking for Joseph Biddlecombe who was in Alpena Town, Alpena County, Michigan, USA. He is on their 1870 and 1880 Census then I have lost him. I can't find a death for him. He was born in 1819 in Yarmouth, IOW. Any advice or help gratefully received. Chris

Chris, I can't find a death, but are you aware that someone named 'Shilton' (last name) is looking for him, too? I tried Ancestry and didn't see anything. I next tried a google search for 'Biddlecombe Alpena' and found several things in which you might be interested. I can pm you, if you aren't related to these people.

Thanks for that Lisa - much appreciated. I haven't been in contact with 'Shilton' but will try and locate them. Any help gratefully accepted. Thanks again, Chris

Chris, I'll send you the sites. If 'their' Joseph is the same as yours, it will be exciting, as they have a photograph of him, before he left the UK.
