I have had a go at the 1930 census but not come up with anything. However I much appreciate any help. Details I know are name George H Nettleton, DOB 1914, arrived New York on the ship Samaria 1927 age 13. Mother was Doris Nettleton, nee Marritt and father was Walter H Nettleton. Doris was born 1896 and she married Walter 1913. She and Walter went to USA sometime before George - I have not found their immigration records, details of passage etc.

The Ellis Island site quotes George as passenger ID 901727045499, Frame 708, Line number 24

I hope this helps you to help me through the 'what comes next' question

Thanks

If you care to post his name we can check the 1930 and 1940 US censuses.

If you're using the Ellis Island site be sure to make note of the line number that he's listed on then go to the previous or following page and check that line number to get extra info about him.

There are the US census records on ancestry.

Would you like to give us his details so we could have a look?

I have found details of a relative who left for USA in 1927. I have the ships passenger list, and confirmation of arrival in USA from the Ellis Island records. He was only 13 years old and travelled alone - I believe to join his parents who had already emigrated from UK. Can anyone advise on how I find where he went after entering the USA?
