U.S.A. Families

The following people have been found to have emigrated to, or lived for a period of time, in the United States of America.

Ernest J.R. Wallator (b. 1872 Shropshire, d. 1943 Michigan USA)

Ernest first went to Toronto, Canada via Montreal in 1905.  He was aged 29 , single and described as a "Gardiner".  It appears he crossed the border into the USA at some stage.  His death is recorded at the age of 71 in Michigan, USA.  Details of his death and grave can be found here.  There are no records suggesting he ever married or had children.

Mary Wallater nee Hanbury (b. 1856 London, d. 1917 U.S.A.)

The grand-daughter-in-law of Thomas and Mary (nee Harper) from Cardington travelled there as a widow in 1917 and died whilst there.  However, three of her children had already been there or emigrated.  Both Andrew Wallator (1856-1890) and his brother Alfred John Walleter travelled there at the start of WW1 in 1914.  Andrew returned to the UK after the war and got married (visiting the USA again with his wife in 192).  But Alfred stayed there permanently and married an American called Mary Ethel Brooks - they had one daughter who may have returned to the UK.  The third child to emigrate to the USA was Mary Emily Wallater who also went in 1914.  She married an English born man, Harry Robinson, but they stayed in the USA.
