Walter and Robert Kenneth Warland - Migrants to the United States

Some of the information on this page came from Bill Warland, the grandson of Robert Warland.

Robert Kenneth Warland (1846 - 1932) and Walter Warland (1851 - 1943 were the sons of William Warland and Emma Charlwood who lived in Woodstock, UK, just to the west of where many of Warlands were recorded living in the Oxfordshire area from the late 1500s.

1867 - Walter Warland (born 1851) arrives in the United States

Walter Warland, believed to be the son of William and Emma Warland (nee Charlwood/Charwood) born in 1851 in Old Woodstock, is believed to have migrated or been taken (employed by someone) to the United States in 1867. He may be the Walter Warland, aged 16 with the occupation of 'Boy', who arrived in New York on board the Rhine (2nd Cabin, not steerage, suggesting his ticket was paid by others) on 4 November 1867. There were no other passengers on the ship named Warland so it is assumed he may have been employed by someone. The name and age match Emma's youngest son and, as it is understood he also went to the United States, this may be him. (Source https://www.immigrantships.net/v8/1800v8/rhine18671104.html).

A Walter Warland, probably the same man, married Mary Elizabeth Jones (1857-1909) on 1 February 1877 in Norfolk, Litchfield, Connecticut, United States. They had the following children:
