Elaine, thank you I have just found the info on this site, his wife has been indexed as ann Mary and not Mary Ann.

I will contact Burngreave at a later Date but as you know that is where dave Yates was a volunteer so Christine Steers might be busy with other matters

May I suggest you take Dave Yates contact address off here.

Cheers Barry must start using family search again it has obviously got lots more info on it since I last used it many moons ago.

Ellis Island...you don't think he was a prisoner do you? Does it say if he went with Christiana his wife?

John

Ellis island was the clearing house for all immigrants to the USA.

It is my understanding that Ellis Island was the immigration processing site for all 3rd class passengers arriving in USA. First and second class would be quickly cleared on their ship at the port of arrival and only those with legal problems or who were sick would join the 3rd class on the ferry to Ellis Island where the process was more rigourous.
Dave

Just a note that the info on this site regarding the burial of John Robert Satnfield.

The info on this site referring him as R John Stanfield is correct.

Christine has replied to my request to check.

Regarding Family search, is it easy to navigate now as not used for ages and not sure even if my accounbt has closed.

Regards

ps John Haslam turner on the list which people on here kindly found of him going to the USA in 1906 it states that he went there in 1898, how would i find out exactly when and is there anyway I could find him returning to the UK
