Find Ancestors

Hi Traci, thanks for the offer of a look up, I have my Aunt Charlotte Greenwoods information actualy going to America in 1929, I would like you to look in the 1930 census for me please if you would.
Miss Charlotte Greenwood born 1892 Preston England, I have been told that she went to work as a nurse companion to a RAE family in Atlantic city, I also have information that she went to stay with her cousin Mary Ellen Greenwood born 1879 Halifax, but don't know which household she is staying at.
Thanks again

Hi Traci

Hi Traci,
I asked Lorraine weeks ago and I don't think that she is around to do this at the moment, so although it's not normal to ask someone else could you take a look please?
It's great of you to offer to do this, I know it must take a lot of your time doing something like this so thanks in advance.

I am trying to trace the following family who moved to the USA between 1871 ( England census) and 1880.
I have pasted the 1880 American census entry that I have from the free Ancestry.com site, with which format you are probably familiar, and I would like to know more about what happened to the family in America,
Can you help please?

Tracey,

There's a possibility that my ancestor emigrated to Canada/USA at around 1881. He was William Tinkler (b. 1839). I have tried the Canadian 1901 census, but with no luck. If you can try all of your sources I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks,
Robin Tinkler

Hi Tracy,
Please can you check Saskatchewan deaths for a William McIntosh born Scotland 1854.He farmed in the Dunelm county in SW Saskatchewan near Swift Current and was there in the 1811 census,with wife Elizabeth about seven years younger than himself.He may have died in 1933 but that is not certain.
Grateful for the look-up.

But only got this

Hi Tracy,

Thanks anyway for trying to find Alexander Chivas & Margaret Donaldson marriage. Yes they did go to Michigan Detroit. I have everything on them but their actual marriage place & date.

I appreciate your help

Helen

Tracey

I do hope you can help me

I saw on Ancestry Canada, on the Canadian Immigrant Record, a Edith Robinson. I cannot read the year (being in UK) and then Source/event.
Can you help please?

Then I saw under Canada Births
Theodore Allen Robinson
then cannot read
date gender Kent name (surname) and name (surname) The 'Kent' should be UK
A rough guess he was born 1900 +10/15 years!
Thats all the info I wrote down, when I saw it - do hope you can help

Can you see Border Crossings as well?
I saw a Louisa A. Young, Buffalo, NY, USA
Thats a bit vague, but perhaps you can find it.

Many, many thanks
Jo

Hi
Tracy, Can I please ask for your help again. My gr uncle Thomson Mason (middle name possibly Lawrie) sailed from Liverpool to Quebec age 16 on 3rd May 1929, he was 16 years old, on the Letitia. Parents Thomson Lawrie Mason and Agnes Canning. He died a number of years ago in Canada. I do not know where he lived, but wondered as his name is unusual if you could find a marriage for him. Any info would be great. I know his children etc remain in Canada and I would like to contact them.

Thank you
Joy

OK Joy - good luck :)

Hi Traci I have had a look at the link you suggested. I may have a chance there. I will also ask if any GR member can do a look up in Hudson, Essex area.

Thanks again for your help
Joy

Hi Helen,

So many on Alexander (no idea what his birth year) on passengers list and other things, but no marriage for him in Ontario.

Did he go to Michigan, Detroit?

If so.. Tried marriage there but this what Ancestry have

Michigan Marriages to 1850
Michigan Marriages, 1851-75

None later, sadly.

Hi
You have been really helpful. Do you know where I could find details of Hudson or Essex marraiges.
