Find My Past look-up please

[craft1948]

Can someone with a full subscription take a look at a migration record for me please.
It's for a George W Curtis who left from Liverpool on 23/4/1909 on board the Mauretania bound for New York.
I'd like to know a) all his details and b) if he was travelling alone.

Many Thanks............

Evening, I haven't got a worldwide sub on ancestry now only the deluxe lol! Was he born about 1887 by any chance?

[craft1948]

No if it's who I'm hoping this was my great-great-grandad who was born in 1852. I can't find him dying in this country and someone on Genes Re-united has found this entry but no more details. He hopefully is George Womble Curtis.

[dotty.]

Just had a look at the family on the 1891, if he did leave for the US did he take his family do you think? I think one of his sons had married and the youngest one possibly had gone to live with family in 1901, else I've got the wrong ones.

[craft1948]

dotty his wife died in 1896 and I can only find one of his children (Ernest my great-grandad) in 1901. However I have found all 4 of the children in the 1911 census, but no George.

[craft1948]

I don't know if you have the right family, his wife was Eliza and his children were Violet, Olive, Ernest, and Harold.

[dotty.]

yes that's he ones, the youngest is in Lincolnshire in 1901 near louth

[factor-fiction]

Was Womble a pretty common name then?

[craft1948]

Factor you have no idea!!
He was actually born George Curtis Wombell, but by the time he got married this had changed to George Womble Curtis.
That will be right dotty as he was in Lincolnshire in 1911, I couldn't find him in 1901 at all.

[dotty.]

look for beatrice evison in 1901

[craft1948]

Who was he living with in 1901 dotty as I still can't find him?

[dotty.]

Did George not die in Gainsborough district in ,Lincolnshire in 1896?

[dotty.]

Perhaps best not to be sidetracked by that one, but the surname Wombell is very much a lincolnshire name.

[craft1948]

His father was from Carburton, Nottinghamshire dotty. No George was shown as being alive when his son married in 1901.

George was travelling alone. He went 2nd Class. He was described as an inventor. He appears to be a US citizen.

[craft1948]

Oh well that can't be him then Rose..............it's just bugging me that I can't find him and to style himself as an Inventor sounded just like him. He had numerous occupations...............Chemistry Lecturer, Exhibitor of Pictures et

[Rose Maybud]

He was listed on a page of 'Aliens' who were 'non-transmigrants'. Most people on that page were US citizens. Previous page were 'Aliens' who were transmigrants. So if you are sure George was British, then this wasn't him :(

Sorry to jump on the bandwagon, but would this full subscription Craft refers to allow anyone to see any ship/travel records from the UK to Cuba in the 1870s? I know I have asked questions about how to trace this journey before but didn't realise a higher level ancestry subcription might help .... apologies again for gatecrashing Craft's thread!!

[Rose Maybud]

I looked for George Curtis on FindMyPast Migration which covers the years 1890 - 1960. Unfortunately too late for your family member in the 1870s, or I would have looked at the time and posted on your previous thread.

[dotty.]

you may be better here:

though ancestry does have a good run of passenger lists with all ports of call included.
