Thanks for looking Ginny. And yes, the only way forward (or even backwards) is buying certificates to be sure of facts.

Theres nothing for Thomas on immigration records. heres a possible marriage

Nudging for Roy

Can anyone with worldwide ancestry help Roy with the Canadian and Australian emigration records he would like?

Re; Railway Dugout Burial Ground.
I agree with what Margaret has stated regarding the implication it is in Mkt.Harb.however that is the way it is transcribed on the Leics.Mem.Site..I can only assume his name is written on the family gravestone in Northampton Rd Cemetry.

The age is a little out but your Boris is the only Boris Fitzjohn coming up on births on freebmd. The ink is a bit blobby also.

Cassy

That previous to last message is a little misleading, making it sound as if Railway Dugouts Burial Ground is in Market Harborough. It's in Ieper, West Vlaanderen, Belgium.

Many thanks to everyone who took the time to read this & helped with tracking down Reginald Fitzjohn's death in WW1 , death of Victor Fitzjohn & marriage of Boris Fitzjohn.

It is very much appreciated.

If anyone is still reading , i have found on Ancestry's free search facility that a Craven Fitzjohn appears on New South Wales,Australia,unassisted immigrant passenger Lists 1826 - 1922.

A Thomas Fitzjohn appears on Canadian Passenger Lists 1865 - 1935 & an Annie Fitzjohn ( Musa Annie maybe ? ) also appears on Canadian lists + Border Crossings from Canada to USA 1895 - 1956.

Can anyone look at these entries for me & see if details match - up with my Fitzjohn family members, please.

Many thanks !

EDIT

Many thanks to Cassy for extra details added below.
