Thread: 1920 & 1930 US census lookup please

Hi all,

I would be grateful if someone could do a lookup for Bessie Cayley b.1882 in Steyning, Sussex, England or any of her siblings. She emigrated with her mother Emma b.1851 Bath Somerset and siblings, Benjamin Francis. b.1874 Bath Somerset England, Ellen C. b.1877 Steyning, Sussex, Margaret Louisa b.1880 Steyning, Sussex and Kathleen Emma b.1886, Steyning, Sussex after the death of their Husband/Father. They emigrated to Douglas, Nebraska and this is the info found for the 1900 US census, I've put their full given names in brackets -

Peter Brennan, head, 44, b. Jun 1855, married 9 years, b. Ireland, parents b. Ireland, immigrated 1879, naturalized, stone mason, rents his house

Emma Brennan, wife, 46, b. Sept 1853, married 9 years, 5 children born, 5 still alive, b. England, parents b. England, immigrated 1886, no naturalization status recorded,

(Benjamin Francis)Frank Cayley, stepson, 26, b. Jan 1874, England, parents born England, immig 1886, teamster

(Margaret Louisa)Maggie Cayley, stepdaughter, 20, b. Mar 1880, b. England, parents born England,immig 1886, (no occupation)

Bessie Cayley, stepdaughter, 16, b. Sept 1893, b. England, parents born England, immig 1886, sales lady store

(Kathleen Emma)Katie Cayley, stepdaughter, 14, b. Mar 1886, b. England, parents born England, immig 1886, (no occupation)



1021 South Twentieth Street

Omaha Ward 2, Douglas, Nebraska

Roll: T623_923 Page: 6B; Enumeration District: 11.



I believe that Emma died at some point before 1920 and its possible the children may have moved elsewhere.



Any assistance or info would be appreciated.



Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,



The females are probably married by 1920. Marriages for Nebraska are not shown after about 1898. I have had no luck with the males in Nebraska. They may have moved as you said but deaths for there are also not on line. I may have found Peter and Emma living in different buildings in New York (One for males, the other for females). I am still working on this, if it is them Kathleen may also be in the same area but unmarried. I need to find the other males. I will get back to you.

Hi Starlight,

Many thanks for your efforts so far. I believe that Emma and Peter married about 1890/91. Unfortunately I don't know the port of entry where Emma and family entered the US.

Hi Andy,



Sorry for the delay. I haven't been able to find anything concrete. No luck with the passenger lists either.

Hi Starlight,

Thank you very much for your time and efforts. I think you are probably right about the girls being married. I think I may have to sideline this branch of the family for the time being.

I will try to come at them from the angle of Cayley relatives still in the UK and see if I can find any info that way.

Thanks very much again.

Andy
