Hallo trurogirl and welcome to Aa.
I have moved your post because it will be seen more easily here.
I have had a quick look on A*****y and there seems to be quite a lot of people doing Moorcom from Cornwall/ photos and info etc.
Can you give us any more information please such as his birthplace and wife's name. If he was born in 1901 he may be on 1901 and 1911 censuses.
Regards Lola
Hi
Welcome to AncestryAid
First the marriage:
Name: MORCOM, Henry
Spouse: CLYMOW, Alice
Registration District: Redruth
County: Cornwall
Year of Registration: 1922
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep

Now to look for the migration. Do you want details of his and her parents? And census details?

Am I on the right track? Did Alice not join Henry in the USA?

this looks like the most likely birth - meaning he just missed 1901 census
name: MORCOM, Henry Registration District: Redruth County: Cornwall Year of Registration: 1901 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun Volume No: 5C Page No: 172
did he just go over on his own for a small while. his death seems to be in uk
though his emigration record states he intends to reside in US
Name: MORCOM, Henry Registration District: Redruth County: Cornwall Year of Registration: 1932 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep Age at death: 31 Volume No: 5C Page No: 171

think he comes back 1930 as anc****y has an incoming record for that year - coming into southampton. cant see details as no longer have subs
Here it is Welsh lady
Henry Morcom a miner aged 29 residence USA and his address in Britain was Telegraph St. St Day Cornwall. He came on the ship Montcalm from Montreal canada, Canadian Pacific line. Arrived 14 July 1930.
Many thanks Lola5
What a fantastic site.
Henry was born in Crofthandy, St Day, Cornwall. I know his birth was registered April May June so he missed the 1901 census. His wife's name was Alice Clymow married in 1922 & daughter Joyce born 1923.
