Hi,
I have a very missing link in my family!!My great grandfather was elusive to say the least. He was known as James Denvers, James Denver, James Denvir. He was born approx 1872, he claims in Manchester, England, although we can find no proof. He was married to Elizabeth Jones - again, no proof. he was an electrical engineer - the family saying was that he 'sold electricity to the US'. I know he visited the US at least twice, and that he travelled on the Oceanic. He visited new York and Pennsylvania. In 1921 he disappeared from the family - no-one knows to where - my grandad received 3 postcards telling him to look after his mum, but it is impossible to tell where they were sent from. In the time he did live with my g grandmother he fathered 5 children, 3 survived. In this time there are blanks on the local census, where he was absent from the family home. I am wondering whether he left finally to live in the US, and whether he either started a new, or actually already had an existing family there. (Or anywhere else!!)
I realise this is a long shot, but thought smeone may be aware of a James Denvers with a past!
Thank you
Mia
