Hello Lorraine.
Thank you very much for that information but the Peggy C Barker/Olson marriage at Ipswich was not mine. I had ordered the certificate hoping it was the right one but found out that that Peggy was born Ipswich, mine was born at Croydon 31/8/1922.
I ordered another certificate that came this morning its for Peggy Barker and Frederick Charles Newbury (Private in army) he was born bc 1917 they married at Croydon 17/7/1945.
Could you please look to see if they went to the USA/Canada.
Regards Alan.

Thankyou for your kind offer. I am looking for the Birth of
Agnes COOPER b: 1882 dau of Robert COOPER and Alice COOPER(Nee JAMES) Robert was b: Scotland and Alice b: England
Robert and Alice arrived in Canada on 15 or 17 July 1881 on the Ship 'Circassian' from Liverpool
The 1891 English Census just gives Agnes place of Birth as Canada
The 1901 English Census gives Agnes place of Birth as Canada, Onto (don't know if this Toronto or Ontario? any info would be a great help.

Robert and Alice must have returned from Canada to England before the 21 June 1882 as Agnes was Baptized on this date in Bolton, Lancashire

Many thanks
Ann

Hi Lorraine

Could you see if GEORGE HERBERT MELLORS (born c1882, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England.) and his family are in Vancouver in 1911 Canadian Census. He might be using his middle name and should have wife, Clara with him as well as two children Sydney and Wilfred.

I found George's WW1 record and various trips by Clara back and forth. Would like to know where he is and what he's up to pre-WW1.

Thanks in anticipation
