Can't find anything for George & Nancy ........... sorry xx

Jean, you are too kind. Lunar, do you have US census information about this family? I had a quick look, and found them on the 1892 and 1900. Let me know if you would like those images, and if you'd like me to have a look in the later censuses. We're 5 hours behind the UK so excuse any time lapses... Lesley

Thank you all very much

Thanks to Anne (and previously found records) I now have census images for:- George:- 1900, 1892 Irving:- 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, 1892 Arthur:- 1900, 1930, 1892 William:- 1900, 1920, 1930, 1892 Also WW1 draft cards for the 3 boys - one spelt Tourney instead of Tournay (seems a common varient)
