Thanks Peppie.

I am looking for Charles Mealing/Melins and his wife Mary Ann. They were living in Glamorgan, Wales in 1881 but by 1882 had moved to Illinois.

Would you be able to find their ship's passengers' listing to Illinois (I think they went from Liverpool) and also see if they appear on US census?

Charles was born Rendcomb(e), Gloucestershire 1838 and Mary Ann was born 1849 in Monmouthshire, Wales.

Many thanks.

I've got them Sharon, thank you, but they are too small to read and when I magnify them they aren't clear enough!

No Idea why that seems to happen.... I use picassa to open them which seems to make them big...
Will drop you a line with what they say

Thanks Peppie, very interesting reading. I'm a bit confused about the children? I didn't think they'd had any, but it says 2 in 1900 and 8 in 1910.

I know they didn't have any in 1881 (though soem may have been born) but she was getting on a bit to be having children between 1900 and 1910 anyway.

Hm. Found a George Mealing born Bedwelty reg district (where Charles & Mary Ann married) in 1866 (same year as marriage) but he is on census 1871 with mother Maria.

Also found twins, Louis and Louisa Mealing born 1874 Bedwelty and a death ref for Louisa. No idea what happened to Louis.
