Evening everyone was wondering where to go from here.
William Sutton b1870 Liverpool Hay dealer and carter in1911.
Ive had loads of great help from people on here going back from 1911, now seeking future help.
In about 1946-50 ish the Liverpool echo had a legal notice asking for relatives of William H Sutton born between 1908-1910 at the time my grandpa wasn't aware of his real name so when the notice was shown in echo he had an idea his father was WIlliam Sutton he was born 1909. the notice asked for them to write to a Boston MA solicitors. My Grandpa went to see a solicitor here in Liverpool but he had no evidence, he had a baptism record for John Joseph Sutton but was known as John Joseph Russell as his half brothers were called russell.
For years we looked for the birth record, then i decided to look for a william sutton and eureka his real name was william sutton.
Ive looked for passenger records going to Boston, i cant even find a death. I have looked at archived echo's but its arduous.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Regards Maria

Evening Guys,
Thank-you for all the time and effort you have put in. Im not sure wether any of the above is relevant.
My fathers Mother Clara, died as a Russell in 1919, in Liverpool when he was about 9ish he was then placed in an orphanage as the Russell family disowned him as he was believed to be iligitimate. The russell father of my grandads half blood died in about 1905.
Looking at past census etc .... William Sutton was still here and had remarried about 1910 to a Catherine Baker she had a number of children that were not his. Mt grandfathers family were very religious (catholic and my GF dad was Cof E im sure this would have been frowned upon.
That was all I knew. My GF was demmobed in about 1946 and he had seen the legal notice shortly after that it was a couple of years later my GF and my dad who believes it was about 1950 went to the Liverpool Echo office to look at archived copies, my dad said he didn't need to go back too long.
I think a death in 1950 may be too late, and the lawyer assigned to the case was defiantly Boston MA. Surely with only the written word would have took a while after death to deal with an estate matter.
If MR W H Sutton had living kin in USA would they have bothered looking for my GF in England. Im assuming he died in Boston as his Lawyer was there maybe im assuming too much.
Thanks everyone can you help look up anything that could be closer to what we think eg death in Boston I assumed MR Sutton died there,
William sutton had 4 previous children before my grand father one called William so why did he call my GF William some people suggest even if a child died they would call another child same name.
Some history 1901 census Robsart St Liverpool
William Sutton 31 b1870 Liverpool Carter in Hay and Straw Elizabeth Sutton 29 b1872 Liverpool (Williams 1st wife died in Liverpool 1905 William Sutton Son 7 b1894 (the 1st William) Daniel Thomas son 5 b1896 John Sutton Son 3 b1898 Richard Sutton B1900
in the 1911 census William senior had remarried in 1910 and Richard Living with him and his new wifes children all the rest have vanished I found a number of Military records did they all die in WW1.
sorry for going on Maria

Dear Gins, That could be an option Boston NY, could look into immigration to there then.
I know he was definitely still in UK in 1911 assuming April.
Trying to think logically. would he have left family 2 to go US has anyone had any luck with children of Marriage 1. there are some military records that could be them.
Does anyone think they would still look for NOK even if he had other kin?
Im flummoxed as to were to go now i don't think there are any deaths for children of marriage1.
regards Maria
