• Notes

  From Manfred Lindner's notes:- 1886 emigrated to US without wife on Grecian Monach landed in New York [See Castle Garden records http://www.castlegarden.org - Dave Simpson Aug 2008] In 1910 census living with Julia and Nellie in Massachusetts Naturalisation Index card for Moses in 1897 which gives his birth as 1st May 1855 which is at odds with the approximate date we had of 1858. However he is inconsistent with his age. His 1900 census entry agrees with his naturalisation detail. I think that he was probably born in May, but May 1858, a year after his parents married rather than 1855 which is 2 years before they married.
