Here is what I found on Francis and Alice M. Whittle. Sailed from Liverpool in 1904, docking at Boston, MA. They went at first to his brother, Howard Whittle, address 113 Kilburn St. Falls River, MA.
Their 3 children were: Elizabeth age 4 b abt 1899; Edward, 3, 1901; John 1, 1903. in 1910, they lived in Manhattan, Kings Co, NY he was a brass finisher.
1920, still in Manhattan, 2 more cildren, Robert, 2 and Margaret, 1 yr 2 mo
1930, Bronx, NY Francis 55, Brass worker, factory; Alice 56, no chg;
Both Elizabeth and Margqret have evidently left home. Edward is not listed. John, 27, paint salesman; Robert, 23, florist, greenhouse; Joseph, 19, 1911, clerk for mail order house, and Donald, 11, born, 1919. I'll look for Edward.
