Hi lorraine, thanks for the offer. My gt gt grandfather william cushion walker was born in 1849/50 to william walker and sarah nee cushion somewhere in mississippi. The odd thing is they (william and sarah) were married in the UK in 1849, apparently travelled to america and are back on the 1851 uk census with young william. I haven't been able to find either their passage or his birth details, so anything would be fantastic. Regards Linda :)

Hi Lorraine,
Thanks once again for doing this,
Alexander's sister's name was Margaret Good, she went to Canada in 1905 with husband and children and living in Ontario.
The passenger list you found looks quite promising but I have never been able to find a marraige for Alexander in Scotland.

Im having real problems trying to tie bits together and find a Canadian link - and would be grateful for any assistance.

William Gadd born 1875 Kirkee East India
( parents Moses and Bridget Gadd lived in Cobham Surrey ).

I have found him on an immigration list going from Canada to Sweet Grass Montana in Oct 1913.

He is listed as either having stayed with or going to stay with the
REV JAMES J GADD IN VANCOUVER CANADA.

I need to say more than a few hail mary's as trying to find the rev is a nightmare and turning the air blue lol!!!

Is there anyway of finding out where abouts the rev was preaching?

I have found a couple of James J Gadds on ancestry - doesnt say if they were revs or not - please see below, would be grateful if anyone could help me out with any info - will remember you in my prayers lol!!

Hi Lorraine
thank you for looking
Wolstenholme was definitely his first name but he may not have used it and may have been known as Gwynne. I am not sure if he married but we were told he had died in Illinois U.s.a

hello there, very nice of you to offer to do look ups. I wonder if you would be able to find me anything on my ancestor.

He's a Patrick Joseph Grant born in Belfast June 1878 and I just think he might have moved to the united states.

I don't know if he was married or about any children I'm afraid. He's the brother of my ggrandmother Julia Grant b Belfast 1879 and his parents were Owen Grant and Ann Carroll married Dublin 1876.

If you could find anything for him I'd be very grateful.
Margaret

Hi Lorraine,
Thanks for the offer, I hope you can help me 'cos i don't know where else to look.
I am looking for anything at all on Alexander Moore b. 1880 Lanarkshire, Glasgow, parents are Henry and Margaret nee Stewart, the last time I have him is the 1891 census with his parents aged 11.
There is defintley no marraige or death for him in Scotland.
One of his sisters went to England, I have her on the 1911 census with her family.
Another sister emigrated to Quebec, Canada, I have her on the 1911 Canadian census with her family.
I am wondering if he went with either sister, I really do hope you can help me with this one.
