William Manly John Curwood Curwen
William emigrated to America in 1850
https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bi...88&usePUB=true Can anyone with world membership tell me who he took with him, please? His wife in 1843 was Elizabeth Pridden Curwen nee Cannon. His mother in law Elizabeth Cannon and he had at least two sons, though it is the females I am interested in. Elizabeth senior is probably born in the 1780s. If I have correctly identified her, she is a governess aged 50 in 1841: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...11?pId=7629984 Thank you!

The card that you linked to doesn't give information about who travelled with him, and it doesn't say where or when he arrived either.

Signed 20 Dec 1850 proved 13 April 1855 by widow. Everything to her. (I only had 30 seconds to read). He was of Williamsburg.

Phoenix, that card in the first link of your first post is from the U.S., Naturalization Record Indexes, 1791-1992 (Indexed in World Archives Project). It gives his date of naturalization as Aug. 6, 1850. He must have come over a few years before that date, I should think. You don't get your citizenship stepping off the ship.
EDIT: Had you already found this, Phoenix? (Search the page for Curwen.) https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/print.jsp?div=t18440819 Also this? https://images.findagrave.com/photos...1474179463.jpg That's from FindAGrave but the caption on it credits its source on Ancestry in the England & Wales, Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers, 1567-1936: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...5ee&pId=495877 Last edited by Janet; 17-03-21 at 05:46.

Those Holdens get everywhere!
Thank you both! So Elizabeth's mother either got left behind, or died some time before 1851. This is a complicated family. Especially since Elizabeth and her sister Ann both were given the middle name Pridden after their mother's first husband despite being no blood relation
