Sorry, Jane, my mum just called. I'll send information now.

Thanks Lisa
Just to check are you saying there where 2 children - Donald and Fred
The only reason I ask is that I thought they had a son
John b 2 Sept 1889 d 4 Jan 1972 - but this info is a bit shady - Could you throw any light on that one???
Thanking you
Jane

The 1900 New York census shows that he immigrated to the U.S. in 1861. Number of years in the United States: 40. Charlotte is shown immigrating in 1860, living in the U.S. 40 years.
Donald, born Apr 1877, "son" of John, is shown as born in Canada, father was born in Canada, mother in New York. Donald immigrated in 1880.
Fred, born Sept 1869, "son" of John, is shown as born in New York, father was born in Canada, mother in New York.

John's birthplace is Canada Sc. It would be interesting to see the 1910 census, to see if he was born in Canada or Scotland.

I am looking for John Mcfiggins born 1850 in Scotland. He married a canadian lady Charlotte Fraser b1857 in 1885.
I am guessing he would have emigrated to Canada and married and later moved to Rochester Monroe New York where they had a family and he died in 1917.
Off course he maybe went straight to the States and meet and married Charlotte there.
Can anyone suggest a source to find passenger list for voyages or perhaps offer any other ideas
Many thanks
Jane
