Hi all,wonder if anyone can help me trace my great grandad who left his wife
and family to go to the usa circa 1890(the cad ;0) his name was john
haughton born 1862 in norton staffordshire england,he married olive dean and
had 3 children who are listed in both the 1891 and 1901 english census's but
the father john is missing,ive been told he went to start anew life in
america but his wife and family would follow,the only reference i have is a
vague mention in the 1920 US census it reads thus

John Haughton Home in 1920:Chicago Ward 1,Cook(Chicago),Illinois
age 56 years est birth year Abt 1856 birthplace englend
relation to head of househol:Lodger,fathers birth place englend
mothers birthplace :england,Martital status married to Lavina
Year of immigration 1897 able to read yes able to write yes Image:1048

If this is he, he died between the time the 1920 census was enumerated and
the 1930 U. S. Census. His widow, Lavinia Haughton, is found living in
Jackson, Jackson County, Ohio in the 1930 U. S. Census. There is a John
William Haughton who died on 9-30-1923 in Winnebago County, Il. Winnebago
County abuts Cook County in Illinois. Sorry nothing definitive here.

thanks mike,appreciate that,im fairly sure he didnt have a middle name so
the latter one isnt him,as his last child was born in 1887 and theres no
mention of him on the 1891 census im assuming it happened in those 4
years,just had a reply back from another source who found this:,
John Haughton, b. 1862, England, age 48 in 1910 census of Philadelphia PA;
wife Jennie, son George b. 1890, Macon, GA.
anyone have any idea how i might access theUS immigration records ?
thanks howie
