Lisa...

How and where would I get the death cert from..please

Misty:

Here death certificate may include next of kin. Which may name Thomas.

Wow...Thanks guy's all this info it's wonderful...

Your right Lisa the family were from Appleby, Westmorland.

So Vivienne...looks like she did die in Canada!!

I still believe she was the mother of Thomas...although proving it is another thing!...shall continue the "hunt"

Many thank's once again

Isabel Searcy Female 84 1 Jan 1946 Vancouver 1946-09-001067 B13189 2032421

right age by looks of it

vivienne

Just looked for immigration records for Isabel for the above dates, not using a surname. Did not see her.

Night for now.

Do not see any Isabella/Isabelle, born c1861 (+ or - 5 years) arriving in America in 1902 or 1908. Looked for Atkinson, Fallowfield and Searcy (various spellings) surname.

Do not see Isabella coming into the States. I do see a couple of immigration records coming in the UK for I. Searcy.

Do not see the Graham's in 1920.

There is a J.P. Graham in 1910, but he is a boarder and not living on 79th Street. He was born in England, c1867, single, immigrated 1900 occupation: Laborer, Street..

Also two John P. Graham's; neither one on 79th Street. Several Graham's with varying first names. Did not check for their addresses.

Many Thank's again

Thank you for the update. I will continue to look around. Perhaps somewhere there might be reference to Searey or a similar spelling.

I am also checking in America, in case I can find her here.

Hi Lisa,

Sorry been on the hunt and should have said, I am in touch with Fallowfields in Canada but they know nothing about "my " side of the family..they knew there was a Thomas, Margaret and Isabella but not where they fit in....

They are all from the first "lot" over there..Isabella's brother's and had no idea she was possibly a sister!!...so that's what I'm now trying to get to the bottom of...

Thank you for all the info...it all help's solve this mystery.

There appears to be descendants of the brothers in British Columbia. If you contact them, they might know something about Isabella. I tried to check the British Columbia Vital Records, but the search isn't working right now:
http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/textual/governmt/vstats/v_events.htm#indexes

There are 15 Fallowfields in British Columbia:
http://www.411.com/

You might also find descendants on some of the sites I've listed.

You most likely have this, but it shows a photograph of some Fallowfield children:
http://www.members.shaw.ca/j.a.brown/SchoolsTo1900.html

Perhaps your Isabella met up with her brothers(believe it would be brothers) somewhere along the way:
http://genforum.genealogy.com/fallowfield/messages/65.html
"...Robert Fallowfield and brother Thomas (second name Atkinson for their mother's family) came from the English town of Appleby near Manchester in 1881 and after working in Toronto for a while, crossed the country via the US to the west coast and to Victoria, BC. Seeking Land, the young men then went to New Westminster and in the summer of 1883 found their way to where they settled in Surrey, Thomas with 160 acres on the north side of Brown Road west of Coast Meridian and Robert on 160 acres alongside on the east side of Coast Meridian Road...."

Robert Atkinson Fallowfield:

Mentions Tom Fallowfield

In case this is a descendant, whom may be able to help you:
http://www.classmates.com/directory/school/Kensington%20Prairie%20School?org=18531911

Mentions brothers Tom and Robert Fallowfield:
http://www.classmates.com/directory/school/Kensington%20Prairie%20School?org=18531911
(Trying to tract the Fallowfields, in case I run across Isabella's husband.)

This doesn't help in your search for passenger lists, but adding here for reference:
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~canbc/vote1898/votef.htm
NAME / RESIDENCE / PROFESSION, TRADE, or CALLING / DISTRICT
Fallowfield, Robert Atkinson, S.W. 1/4 Sec.30, Tp.7, Kensington Prairie, Surrey, Farmer, WDel
Fallowfield, Thomas Atkinson, S.W. 1/4 Sec.25, Tp.1, Kensington Prairie, Surrey, Farmer, WDel

Do not see anything close to the Searey spelling.
