Mea, Is it possible to find out when my ancestors arrived in Canada. I know it was the early 1900s Head of family was James FLEW b. 1856 Cleeve, Som. UK. Annie FLEW formerly ELLIS b. 1860 or 1861 Wilts. Also their children, Alice, Lizzie, Gertrude, John and Caroline Annie. Thank you for your offer of help. Carol

I found some of my relative on the Ontario Cemeteries Finding Aid, but my surname is a bit unusual. http://www(.)islandnet(.)com/ocfa/ I tried Pinchess, and no results, Moore and Copeland, got a lot of matches, not easy to pin down unless you know where they went.

I am ALSO looking for descendants of my great grandfather's two brothers who must have emigrated from UK to Canada (Barrie Ontario) sometime before 1881. They were: William COPELAND b. 1845 Haltwhistle, Northumberland married Eliza ? Joseph COPELAND b. 1842 also Haltwhistle I have found them in 1881 Canadian census on the familysearch website but don't know where to start researching when they arrived/where they emigrated from etc

Hi there I am also looking for rellies that moved to Canada Lancelot Leslie PINCHESS (b 1899) and his wife Lillian (Ison) married in Hinckley Leicestershire in 1919. I think they lived around Toronto (Missisuaga possibly) They had a son Leslie Austin PINCHESS who died in 1943 in ww2 he maRried a lady (I presume canadian) called Marjorie. That is where the trail goes cold. We have found a link with some people in British Columbia but they seem very hesitant to speak to me I think they are scared I may find some skeletons - hey I've been tracing my tree for over two years now so I sure thier skeleton won't scare me!!!(LOL) Many thanks Janet xxx

Hi Mea, He was called Thomas Moore (known as Tommy) and was born 1899 / 1900 in Piddinghoe, Newhaven, East Sussex, England. His parents were: Kate Goddings and Ernest Edward Moore. I think he moved to Ontario, but I'm not sure. I'm afraid it's rather a common name, but would appreciate it, if you would have a look. Thanks Alison
