Emigration - continued

After finding Alfreds birth yesterday and thinking a little more about it i returned to familysearch.org this morning and did a search for Wanklings born in the USA and both Alfred and Harold came up with links to the 1901 census of the UK and from the information on the census it becomes clear that not only are they not twins but they are from different families.  Always a good idea to check some facts!

From the census record (RG13/2913/147/40) it appears Alfred, born Peabody, Mass., is the middle child of 3 (the other two born in Coventry, England) and son of George J and Ellen, whilst Harold, born Boston, Mass., is the 2nd of 4 children of James and Clara (RG13/2911/61/14) - so now its a case of finding out how these two Wankling families are connected and why they came back from America?
