Dear Slowhands.

Eureka! I hope.
In 1888 the wife of George Nelmes who was 7 on your 1861 census sailed over to New York on the Umbria. She had with her 3 Children Ernest Leonard and Samuel.
When she returned in 1894 Ernest was no longer with her but 2 Little girls were.

Alice one of the girls is my Daughter in Laws, Great Great Grandmother.I can find no birth certificate and all the 1891 census your end have been destroyed George travelled over in 1895/6 but was alone.

What we have been trying to find out is, where did helen ellen Nelmes go to and how come she travelled without her husband. Also it is believed wit -in the family that little Alice was a Native Indian could this be possible?

I always thought my lead would come through the Nelmes family and that my Nelmes travelled over to a relative.
Best Regards Bingo.
