While looking through a Rhode Island City Directory for the year 1920, I
came across the term "removed".. For instance, a normal listing would
be..SMITH, John / clerk / boards 50 Main St..The next year it
states..SMITH, John / removed to NYC..
He then appears a few years later in the Directory..Any thoughts?
Claudia..

It's a term once widely used to mean "moved" or "relocated."  My
Webster's still defines it "remove" as "to change location,
station, or residence."  

"Station," in this context, referred to one's social status;
you'll read about 'a change in [social] station' in novels of
the time.

In Mr. Smith's case, it probably just means he moved away for
a few years and then returned.

Unfortunately Claudia used a bad example.  In her example he probably
moved to NYC for a better job or to get trained for a new job and then
returned to RI.  Did his job description change?  Did he leave a clerk
and return in insurance etc.  

But was the first John Smith the second one?

It's a term that is no longer used in the US, but is still used in UK and
elsewhere. It means the same as "moved", i.e. moved to NYC.

An old family history I have inherited (written in 1940) uses the term
"removed" to describe the act of moving away.
