*Arc tbc* ---James Partridge b 1872

[Maths girl]

Can anyone check American census for James/Selina/ and William in the following family:

I believe they might have travelled to USA in 1906 with a younger sibling

1901 13, King Street, Rowley Regis
PARTRIDGE, James Head Married M 29 1872 Furnace Stoker Old Hill Staffordshire
PARTRIDGE, Selina Wife Married F 35 1866 Old Hill Staffordshire
ALLPORT, Ettie Daughter Single F 17 1884 Chain Maker Old Hill Staffordshire

ALLPORT, Arthur Son Single M 9 1892 Old Hill Staffordshire
PARTRIDGE, William Son Single M 6 1895 Old Hill Staffordshire
PARTRIDGE, Ernest Son Single M 1 1900 Old Hill Staffordshire

Interestingly Selina is found in 1891 with previous husband and child born in USA -- had they visited earlier?

So Selena Allport/Partridge is Selena/Selvia Wellings? Or sister to Lucy Johnson i.e. Selina Johnson!

Oh, yes, I see ... http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... &pid=18101

Well, at least all this independent detectiving provides confirmation.
