Morning folks Would some kind person look up ship passenger lists between April and October 1903 for Ellen Catherine (Katherine/Kate) Hamilton (nee Pargiter) and Benjamin Joseph Hamilton (a carpenter) both born London in 1879, who emigrated to Canada and landed up in Toronto. Any info gratefully received. Thanks for your help. Jackie

I don't have access to passenger lists but on the 1911 census (free on automated genealogy) there's a Benjamin & Ethel Hamilton with 2 children Ethel 1903 and John1905. It says that they were all born England and immigrated 1907. They're in Toronto. Margaret Update, oops Carol beat me to it and I didn't go to the next page where there are 2 more children!
