Harris Richard William Searching for details of

Hi,

I have an ancestor, Richard W. Harris (b.approx. June 1876). I am searching for details of him after he emigrated to the USA in 1920. Richard was born in Birmingham, son of John and Mary Ann Harris (nee Perry). He was a soldier in the Great War and invalided out due to effects of gasing.

I believe he emigrated to the USA in November 1920, via Ellis Island. However, I have been unable to trace his movements in USA thereafter. Family verbal information suggests that he died in America, but details of any marriage, family or date of death is unknown.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Bob Heath
