Find Ancestors

Hello Lorraine,
This is a probably a question too far as I have so little info on this chappie.but here goes...

CHARLES REDDING arrived USA CASTLE GARDEN in 1872. aged 23, Labourer. Born c 1847 HASELOR WARWICKSHIRE.

Sadly that is ALL I know once he arrived in the USA
Hope it is enough to possibly trace him.

Many thanks,
Margaret.

Hi. Could you look up the census for America and Canada for a Walter Thomas born about 1854 in Norfolk. England. I cannot find him in any english census until 1911. Someone suggested he may have emigrated to America or Canada. He was my Grandad. All I have is his marriage cert in 1906. He was 52 and my grandmother was 27. He was a widower. His occupation was a Legal Writer on his marriage. He may have lived in USA or Canada from being a child. His father was Jonas Thomas and was a builder. Thank you for your help
Marlene

Lorraine,
Many thanks, this Sidney is still a bit of a mystery as it was assumed he was born in 1897.

Hi Lorraine
Whawow, ships logs are so exciting!
How can i access them myself? because;-
I was told by Eric Shaw that his father may have died onboard ship and i would love to trace anybody by the name of Harry Hodgson Shaw who may have been travelling on a ship back from Canada with Edith Anne Shaw and may have died on the way back,
Would a ship carry a body all the way home or to the nearest port?
By the way Harry Hodgson Shaw is the name listed on Eric Shaw`s marriage cert. as his father, occupation photographer
He has always been a great mystery for the family, why would he have the same surname as Edith Anne Shaw?, as we were always told she never married, and Eric Shaw never knew him

Thank you so much for all your efforts so far and for the inspiration you give us beginners
Mark

Lorraine,
Thanks for your look-up before about the Lloyd´s, since then trying to find the Sidney b1897 has been confusing,but have received this info;
"Found out from Harold Brooker, my mother's cousin ( Millie's son) that my grandfather or step=grandfather, I guess, Sidney John Lloyd, apparently came to Canada as a Salvation Army child to work on farms here in Canada. Apparently his father had already immigrated to Canada. According to Harold, he arrived in Winnipeg looking for his father. He was only 9 or 10 at the time."
So if he was 9/10 at the time there may be a chance that he would appear on the 1911 Canadian Census, could l ask if you could do me a look-up for Sidney and for Millie Brooker(Breaker)b1899 and husband William who travelled over to Canada after 1917 as this is when they married in Eastbourne,Sussex. Millie´s maiden name was Tucknott,Please
Regards
David Tucknott

Thanks for that info Lorraine. Much appreciated
Beverley

hi Lorraine
i have two family mysteries i would love some help with

firstly my great gran edith anne shaw who it seems travelled back and forth to both america and canada, although of humble means ?
she was born c. 1877 in huddersfield yorks.
she was not married but had a son eric my grandpa born huddersfield c. 1909
as yet i cannot find any records of them
it seems eric was raised by a series of grandparents/ aunts etc. and used the middle name hodgson, i wonder if this had any significance?
there is a story that my gretat grandma may have been travelling with her lover on one of her voyages, is it possible to trace travelling companions onboard ship?
the only other info on edith is that she had a withered leg due to infant polio, and she lived out her days in huddersfield until she was well over a hundred yrs. old

secondly, my grandma had a brother albert green b.circa. 1893 in barnsley yorks. he was the eldest of 13 children of a family of coal miners
his parents were james and louisa green , louisa being born 1873,so i assume albert was born about 1894?
my grandma always wondered what became of him after he set sail for canada and was never heard of again!
she tried the red cross etc but to no avail, but that was before genes reunited and you!
i would be very grateful for any help/guidance with these stories of my ancestors and i thank you for helping us to go on further, and making family research even more exciting!

Hi Lorraine
Thanks for your time
Wonder if you can track down any info about John Buck and Sarah Riseborough. Have had a look in Norfolk Parish register and there is some info but if your program(s) offer more that would be great!

John Buck, c1792 Horstead, Norfolk and Sarah Riseborough 1792 Frettenham, Norfolk. Married 1813 at St Faiths Frettenham Norfolk.

Any info about them, parents or siblings would be appreciated

Many thanks
Beverley

Thank you so much Lorraine for looking at Irving for me. That is the wrong one she travelled 1889 according to her letter home and was born 1875 - she did not travel with her parents. Do not worry looking for her I just saw that one on the off chance and hoped it was her. Ellen(also known as Nellie)Irving is not mentioned on the list of other Irvings travelling to Canada. Regards and best wishes Irene
