I am trying to locate Sarah and Mary Halliday and the only information that I have for them is that their parents were John Halliday 1860 (coal miner from Northumberland) he married Mary Smith1863 died1893 as she died young. I think her two daugthers were then sent to Canada on the Corinthian as below but can anyone please tell me how I can locate them in Canada or access records for these family members as I do not know where to start next?

Sarah Ann Halliday aged 12 and her sister Mary J Halliday 1899 were in a party from Dr Barnardoes that boarded CORINTHIAN 25/09/1913 from London and arrived Peterboroughm Ontatio, Canada.


Thank you Vicky.
