Thank you so much for the information regarding Geo Westley Perkins. I had begun to believe that he must have been ill before returning to England with the Children. I think they were living at 90 Argyle Street Boston Lincolnshire when they were transfered to the Beeston orphanages at Nottingham at the time of his death which was 21st Jan 1909. His death certificate gave his address as 90 Argyle Street.

I did not know that he had made a second trip to USA 29th April 1908 and been refused entry, then returning on 12th May 1908. I wonder why he returned. Maybe his wife was still alive and living at East Landing Mitchigan? If so this is where her death details might be found since we do know that she died in the USA.

I intend to check the Ellis Island records and the incoming passenger lists just to confirm your details and to see if there are any other details to be had.

Can you advise on the best site to use for USA BM&D and census records. Ancestry.com?

You and Jim (related?) are certainly doing me proud with your help. Thank you and will keep in touch
