VEACY Kathleen R N Smith Hampstead 1a 1079

ooh Margaret, I hadn't looked at who was travelling with her, however I did find the Veacy Atkins marriage on freebmd and looked for a Smith Veacy marriage, but couldn't find one, although its probably a name that is commonly mistranscribed ... will keep digging, thanks, Helen

Was Mary Jane, perhaps previously married to a Veacy and the children from her first marriage?

Marriages Jun 1918 (>99%)

Atkins James E O Veacy Brighton 2b 465
Veacy Mary J Atkins Brighton 2b 465

If I'm looking at the right passenger list Mary Jane seems to have 2 children with her, Ruth Evelyn Veacy Atkins, 8, and Kathleen Rose Naomi Veacy Atkins, 6, wirh her.

at least I'm geting somewhere on this one now, for years all I've had to go on is a photo of "Aunty Mary who went to Canada", but no surname and no real confirmation of whose aunt, or great-aunt or cousin she might have been ....LOL

No worries ...... Why on earth our ancestors didn't leave us more clues to help us I will never know lol

All the best Helen

Debi, thank you very much.

Unfortunately this one isn't my relative.

I've found her on a passenger list (thanks to the free use over the Labor day weekend), travelling to Canada in 1920 as Mary Jane Atkins to join her husband, with correct date and place of birth (1891, Towersey, Bucks) and correct father's name (Thomas Smith). However I can't find an England/Wales marriage for them. I don't know if maybe he as a Canadian serviceman in WW1 and their marriage may have been registered differently, or indeed, if they really did get married.

However her passage was listed as paid by the Canadian Govt so I would have thought the marriage would have been above board.

Thanks anyway.

Helen

Please could someone be kind enough to look up the detail of the following marriage:

I searched for marriages for James Atkins, 1915 +- 10 years, spouse first name Mary.

One has come up in the British Columbia Marriage Index 1872 to 1924, between James Atkins and a Mary Jane, however I can't see any more of the info as I only have Premium subs not Worldwide.

Would be very grateful if someone could have a look and give me the rest of the info.

Many thanks in advance

Helen
