Hello Lorraine.
Could you please help me again.
I have since discovered that members of the Barker family went to the USA. with the Craig family that you found yesterday on the Aquitainia.
Lily Craig nee Barker 's mother ,brother and sister went with her.
They are :-
Frank Charles Barker born 2/9/1900 Croydon.
Daisy Barker born 12/9/1902 Croydon.
Sarah Harriet Barker born 14/10/1862 Gibraltar.
Is there any information on the above 3 after they arrived New York 23/2/1921.
Your help again would be much appreciated.
Regards Alan.

Hi Lorraine,

You are a treasure, you have found out something I needed to know .. his going back to either Canada or America , you see he disappeared from my Grandmothers life so it looks like he went to New York but he was Crew so I wonder if he stayed with that Ship and went further afield or left the ship and stayed in America.

On his marriage certificate dated 8th March 1917 ( he married her whilst fighting in the 1st World War on the field in France) he has his father also as a George Wharram (deceased) I can't find him either! and my Grandmother is the Muriel Bailey he mentions as his step sister in his War Records (the Bailey was not her name as she was christened Muriel Gilbert) her mother was Edith L Gilbert and she married Ernest Bailey in 1899.

I would still like to know when he actually went to Canada before 1916 as he served in the Canadian Irish Rangers for a while before he joined the Expeditionary Force in Aug 1916 .. I wonder why he went to Canada in the 1st place!
Thanks so so much for your help it is really appreciated.
Kind Regards

Me again lol sorry! Lorraine, just re read your info .. yes you have found him going to Canada 5th April 1919 (strange wonder why, it's like he was running away and then to go and enlist and come back to fight in the war .. something really iffy! about this man lying about his date of birth, makes it really hard to find out who he really was.

Have only found two George Wharram's for his father and neither seem to be the right ones as he says born in Hull, one is from London and the son George W born in Sheffield my George did not have a W after his name and the other is Father named George but he is a shepherd live in Yorks Pockthorpe son is George but he was born in Yorks Pockthorpe not Hull.

I wonder if I will ever solve the mystery!!

Oh! no! it'sme again so sorry! Lorraine ..

This is getting to me I am confusing myself let alone you!! I said you had found him going to Canada 5th April 1919 but that was when he went back to be de-mobbed from out of the Army after the War ..

Could you search for when he actually went out to Canada originally would have been before April 1916 as he served in the Canadian Irish Rangers for a while before he joined the Expeditionary Force in Aug 1916 would love to find this out .. wonder why he went to Canada I know I won't ever know but would be nice to find when he went over there the first time.

Kind regards

Hi Lorraine
Sorry to bother you, I hope you don't mind my rather obtuse query, but I'm trying to find out some info on my grd father's visit to USA in 1907. His name was George Tomlin and lived in Wigan, Lancashire, England.
He travelled on the Saxonia from Liverpool and arrived Boston 12 April 1907. His friends name/ sponsor was a William Brenaman - address as much as I can read off ships manifest is "215 Springhill ns" Boston; not sure about the 'ns' bit. The family have no info on what he did or where he went during the 6 yrs he was away, although I remember my father saying he had been in Canada at some time. He was a bricklayer by trade, so I assume he worked during the time he was away.
Any links to Brenaman in Boston then or now would be useful, or any other info.

Look forward to hearing from you
Regards Allan

Hello Lorraine.
Thank you very much for that information.
It was a suprise that Frank Barker says he was going to join his sister Mrs J Young in Lenapah Oklahoma in 1921 as we had no idea she went to the USA.
Could you please look to see if you can find anything on his sister.All I have is :-
Elizabeth Barker born 25/3/1882 Barming Kent married John Young born unknown in Croydon 1909.
Regards Alan.

HI Loraine
I posted a message for US look ups, so sorry if you saw that and I am repeating information, thats not my intention but I have only just seen your kind offer.

I am trying to find Thomas Lloyd Rogers born 1846, Caernarfon, Wales, he married an Elizabeth Margaret Yapp Pughe in 1875, Liverpool. He had 3 children, 2 boys, 1 girl who died in Wales age 13. The 2 boys, one was definately called Frederick.

Thomas Rogers was a mariner and Capt of a passenger ship that ran between New York and Havanna. All I know about him is he died in New York, I think sometime around the 1910-1920.

I was hoping there may be some information on him on the US census, or a death record for him.

There is a frederick Rogers on the passenger lists who leaves from Liverpool 24 March 1912 to New York and returns to Liverpool 6th April 1912, although he started the return voyage from Queenstown (Canada?) - New York - Liverpool. I wonder if he went to New York as his father was ill or had died?

Thanks
Vicki

Hi Lorraine,

Thanks for trying just had a feeling he had gone over as a Civy as on his Attestation Papers he states he belongs to an Active Militia that being his Former Corps being the 55th Irish Canadian Rangers .. so looks like he was in the Militia before .. will have to try and find out more about the Irish Canadian Rangers and see if I can trace him coming over from the UK.

Just wish I could find something about him before 1916.

Thanks so much for all the help you have given.

Hi Loraine

I don't have him on UK census' as he was at sea with his wife most of the time, their children seem to have been looked after by relatives so they don't appear with them on the 1891 or 1901 census with the kids. Not to worry, maybe he was still captain of the passenger ship so wouldn't appear on any census record, apreciate all your efforts though.
