Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 9 Send Message	I am trying to fill in some gaps with a James Stamp born in 1851 I believe in Somerset - I have him on an 1871 census and then nothing. However I have found a reference on an 1881 census in Canada - he is the right age with a similar occupation. How do I go about finding out how and when he got to Canada to try and track him back to Somerset. Can anyone help?
