Would someone with access to United States info look up Francis Powell Adams, please. He was born in Ireland in 1864, and seems to be in Montana (Lewis & Clark) in 1900 and 1910 (transcribed Francis R in 1900). He also seems to have submitted three passport applications. Any of these would help, and any passenger list info that's available (his wife was Mary Elizabeth, sometimes May, but she is in England in 1911, without Francis). According to their marriage certificate (Pinner, 1892, Francis was a 'sheep raiser).

The three passport applications paint a very interesting but ultimately sad story. It looks like I could email the images to you, if you pm your email address. His wife became paralysed in 1906 and went back to England. Francis wanted to go back to look after her but it seems he couldn't raise the funds.

Thanks, Uncle John, I've sent you a pm.

All sent. The passport applications are so fruitful, but it's a sad story.

Thanks so much for sending all that info, UJ. I've not had a chance to look at it all yet, but it sounds as though it's going to be very informative.
