Lorraine you have helped me before can I please ask for your help again.
In need of Worldwide Ancestry search. Looking for an Irving that went to Canada.
Just put in the seach her birth 1875 + 5years and that she was female born England. USA search and just the surname Irving - nothing else and an Irving with no first name came up travelling 1865 to 1935 to Montreal
but it would not let me see the image.

My ancestor Ellen sometimes known as Nellie travelled to Montreal about 1889 so hoping this may be her. She was going to be a domestic with a family in Montreal. I wonder if you would please be kind enough to see if you can help please Lorraine.
Regards and best wishes Irene
