Annie's petition # is: 118212
Her alien registration # is: A 5321819
Final nat papers from that time frame *should* contain a photo, not certain if petition does.

Alfred Haynes entered the U.S. from Canada at Buffalo, New York on July 4th, 1919 and gave his date of birth as 7/1/93 in Winton, England. His occupation is machinist.
I looked up Winton, and Winton is a suburb of Bournemouth in Dorset, England.
That info may help you in finding out more about Alfred.
Hi daliowa,
That's brilliant, many many thanks again we really appreciate all the help and time you are spending, it's very kind of you and if ever we can help with anything UK related over here please don't hesitate to ask
I will check out again later when more time, it would be great if there is a photo will follow this up.

Hi daliowa,
Many thanks again, I've been doing a bit of investigating and think that looking at the original copy I think he is meaning Winton in Salford as it's much nearer to home. ie https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search...-2.3735618,13z
The reference to Barton earlier seems to be the registration district as per ... https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/distric...%20irwell.html
This is the first time I've come across the district as such and makes me wonder if it means the marriage was near his home rather than Annie's which would be unusual now and probably more so then which makes us wonder !
Sorry,
Just another question / observation ....... Was it normal for someone to emigrate to the US from the UK via Canada in those days ?
I would have thought the obvious route from Manchester would be by ship from Liverpool to New York or am I letting my imagination run riot ?
Should I be looking at Canada for answers ?

Yes, I've seen it quite often. People arriving at Canadian ports, and then traveling through to the U.S.
Also, it is possible that they originally headed to Canada to stay there, and for some reason went to the U.S.
I wonder if either of them had any family or friends that were already in the U.S.?
I enjoyed seeing the photo of your childhood home. Was the milk truck just happening to be there when they snapped the photo, or was it your Dad's truck?
I remember as a child the milkman coming in the morning and leaving milk and cheese in a special box for that purpose right outside the house.
Thanks for posting the links to the U.K. census. The 1911 census gives the married name of Alfred's sister Hannah, and that info together with the other siblings names may help you find descendants that may have some knowledge of Alfred, or maybe even letters that he wrote?
My knowledge of English geography is sadly lacking, so thanks for clearing that up for me.
Perhaps Alfred was born in Winton for some reason? The family moved after his birth? His mom just happened to be in Winton for some reason when she gave birth? Or, the notation on the arrival record could just be wrong.
Also, you can see what homes in the U.S. look like today by putting the address in:
showmystreet.com
It is a free site.
There is a site to see old NYC house photos from the WPA project in the 1930's, but I don't know about Ohio, or Pennsylvania. I'll check.
Up until 1947 there was no separate citizenship for Canada... they were all citizens of British empire, so a British resident could freely travel to Canada.
