Hi everyone I have just joined your list as I am looking for the above my G.Grandfather.
He Immigrated from Cornwall to New Zealand in 1875. He had 5 children, one being my
g.mother. After the last child was Born in 1887 he took off and went back to Cornwall. I
found him on the 1891 census living with his married sister and family in
Tuckingmill,Cornwall.
I then found that he had Immigrated to Rocklands, Michigan in 1899. He was a Miner. I
looked on the Michigan Census for 1910, no John. So the yesterday I found a John RASLEIGH,
which it often is spelt like this on the 1910 Census in Nevada. I couldnt see all the
page as there was something wrong the pages would only go up to 9A and I needed 12A. So we
emailed
Ancestry.Com where we got all this info.Hope they fix it soon so I can get more
info. But there was just enough there for me to look at and hopefully he is mine.
Personal Information:
John L.RASLEIGH.
60.
abt 1850
2- Wd Virgina City, Storey, Nevada.
White.
Male.
T624
859.
2.
12A.
1910.
The age is right and Born abt 1850. Yes he was Born June 1850. The John L. is also right.
The Rasleigh is supposed to be RASHLEIGH.
Now he was a Miner and if anyone has any info on any Mines or how I can find him at all I
would be very grateful. I have been looking for him since 1997 and seeing he wasnt a very
nice man leaving his wife and children in New Zealand with no other family there is
terrible. I would love to put a closure on him and find his Death.
Hoping someone can help me here I would be very grateful.
