Thanks Pat,I already have all that Info,....as well as Grose,Lawson`s (northern Manx Branch)are the other side of my maternal grandparents & go back to around 1580. My Grandmother was Elizabeth Jane Lawson,married Matthew Herbert Grose,Matthew John`s parents. Just interested in what can be gleaned re Matthew John`s American trip around 1880.
All I know is he was there in the 1880 census,and I also have the details of his return trip on the S.S.Tuetonic from New York in 1912.
Cheers!
