You wil find Arendal a very nice sea side city. Small enough to explore the harbor, catherderal and shops easily. A hotel that works well for its location is the Arendal Maritime Hotel or the Thon Hotel Arendal. If the weather is nice have a shrimp salad for lunch at Madam Reiersen on the outdoor terrace in the harbor. shrimp will have been brought in the same morning. If the weather is a little rainy have the fish soup at Fiskebrygge, also at the harbor.. |

I am looking for a website similar to this one but for English immigrants or great website for immigration records for English immigrants.
I found this website but only person I was able to find who matched information I have was Joseph.
http://www.castlegarden.org/quick_search_detail.php?p_id=1338703
Joseph, Mary, Emma not sure James immigrated in 1874
William in 1869
his Wife Elizabeth Davis and oldest son James in 1870
A census says Mary had 4 children
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated not sure if they would have a site like this but worth asking. TIA. |

Vickie, is your query connected in some way to this original post?
In 1900 US Census Joseph and Mary Ann are living in Colusa County, California. The Census lists his arrival as 1874.
1900
William and family in 1880 Census, father Joseph and wife are also on this same census page.
1880
According to this information from Find-A-Grave he immigrated in 1869.
"William Robinson was born February 19, 1847 in Lancashire, England. He married Elizabeth Davis on July 7, 1867. In 1869, he immigrated to the United States and Elizabeth followed in 1870 with their son James. They settled in Lincoln Gulch becoming one of it’s first families. They had several more children Joe, Annie, Charlie, Mary, Bob, Lily, Tom, Nellie, Sadie, Sam and Arthur. William was a miner when he first arrived in Lincoln. Around 1885 he built a cabin on a homestead about a half mile from town. His father Joseph, brother James, step mother Mary and sister Ema also immigrated to Lincoln. William Robinson died in 1895, and Elizabeth sold the ranch and moved to Helena, Montana. Elizabeth passed away May 14, 1912 in Helena, MT."
However the FAG record for son James would indicate that all three immigrated in 1870.
"James Robinson was born June 29, 1868 in Stockport, England. He immigrated to America with his parents William Robinson and Elizabeth Davis in 1870."
I did find a Wm. Robinson and wife Elizabeth arrival in 1870, however the infant was named Elizabeth in the original manifest. Perhaps the manifest is incorrect.

Vickie, all my posts on your query have been deleted.
Perhaps you could also delete the one directly above this one since it is long and not directly related to this topic. |
