I am looking for: Francis H Norden born 1881 at St Helier, Channel Islands. He was still here in the UK in 1915 when he married Agnes Newsholme (I don't know when or where she was born) I expect they emigrated straight after their marriage as there are no children registered in Eng/Wales up to 1920. It is known that he went to the States to work for the Ford Motor Co. Fingers crossed......... Merry

cannot find him but found a Agnes Norden looks like Widow born Minnesota living with her nephew Alfred in 1930 census could that be his wife do you think

I know this is old hat to you, Merry, but don't forget that if you don't have Agnes's birth details it could be that her maiden name wasn't Newsholme, in which case you wouldn't be able to find any children they had in England and Wales on the birth indexes. So could it be that she had been married previously? Kate.

Thank you Val!! I don't know.....could you tell me Alfred's surname? It would make sense that Agnes was born in the US as I couldn't find a sensible birth reg for her over here! Merry
