Hi Lorraine

Maybe you can help? I am trying to trace a Frances Pearson (born 14 October 1924 in Edinburgh, as Frances Hood Cochrane Donaldson). She married a Robert Pearson. They emigrated from Dundee to Toronto in 1966. I have been told they had 2 children.
I would love to know anything that might help me to trace them. It would be great if I could find Frances and she were still alive... or if you can't help, have you any ideas how I could make progress? Best wishes

Hi Lorraine,
Thank you for the offer,
I wonder if you could find a marraige, and or children to Arthur Good b. 1903 in Scotland, he emigrated to Canada , he is on the canadian 1911 census with his family, his brother went to U.S.A. in 1922 and I wonder if Arthur went with him.
I think I have found his death in Florida in 1982 but can't be certain that it is him.
Any help would be great
Thank you
jean

Hi there I have a relation Mary Ann Elizabeth Bishry who was born in 1874 - she became a nurse and I have her through the census living in England. She was in England for 1911 census.
I have then found her death in 1915 in Cuyahoga, Canada and have got a copy of her death details from Family Search pilot scheme.
I would like to know when she travelled to Canada please if that is at all possible. Many thanks Irene
