Have you got a year of birth for him, and looked to see if he appears on anyone's trees on here by using the Search/Search All Member Trees tab, top right?

Added:
I cannot see his birth in free bmd, have you got him in any censuses?

If he was a cousin, who was he a cousin of, and who were his parents?

MargaretM Report 13 Apr 2014 14:45

But you said he was born Hartlepool and emigrated to US with parents. You name the parents. Are you sure of their names? If he's a cousin how is he related to you? Through his mother or father?
