I've been revisiting my elderly aunt's family and think I've found a missing relative in New York. He's Harold Mills born about 1896 in Truro Cornwall with a wife Winifred born about the same time but place of birth not known and there are possibly 2 children Margaret and Donald. I think they are in Kings New York.

I have them on a number if passengers lists and Harold is possibly there in in the 1920 census.

I'd be really grateful if anyone can look the census up for me. I'm beginning to think the wife and children were born in the US.

My aunt was fascinated this afternoon when I told her what I might have discovered!

That's absolutely wonderful! Auntie will be delighted. It accounts for why we couldn't find them in England. I did wonder if Winifred might have been a Harrison as I found an Eleanor Harrison apparently travelling with Winifred and the two children.

Once again thank you very much.
