Thomas Ireland Emigrated (General)
I have a Thomas Ireland born 1853 who is on the 1861 1871 and 1881 census
1881
Benjamin Ireland abt 1816 Stroud, Gloucestershire, England Head West Dean
Hannah Ireland abt 1822 King Stanley, Gloucestershire, England Wife West Dean
Joseph Ireland abt 1852 West Dean, Gloucestershire, England Son West Dean
Thomas Ireland abt 1854 West Dean, Gloucestershire, England Son West Dean
In Feb 1887 his mother makes a will, and he is mentioned as being in America and he doesn't appear in the 1891 census onwards
I've looked into finding a record of him arriving in America but havent been able to find a Thomas to match my dates...
can anyone help with suggestions?

I can only suggest Census Returns but others on the Message Board may be able to offer assistance.
Best wishes

He doesn't "leap " out of the Census returns , other possibilities - he died, or he travelled onward from the States....
