Thanks again for all your help

Hi Lorraine

I hope you don't mind me asking for more help. I tried looking for Winifred Skirsyk in the Canadian Passenger lists and found a Winiford Skizzyk arriving in Quebec in 1919. I'm wondering if it is her but I can't access the records. As Tytus was in the army then I guess they may have travelled separately to Canada. Also, if it is her there's an outside chance that her brother David Read travelled with her, though I can't see an obvious entry. He was in the Royal Marines so it is possible he worked his passage to Canada.

Also, my Aunt thinks that Tytus and Winifred left Canada for the States after a few years. Is there any record of this?

Many thanks for your help,

Sarah

Hi Loraine

Thanks for looking. I'm afraid I know nothing about this side of the family, other than names from photos and the census records, and little tit bits of info passed down through the generations which has probably been distorted along the way.

All I know is Mabel Pearson was born in 1880 in Shanghai, she is on the 1891 census as being in Anglesey with her Aunt Mary Thomas, and sister Ada Pearson, and 2 half sisters Lillie and Mary Williams. I know their mother returned to Anglesey or Cheshire around 1901, so had assumed the children had done as well. I guess now Mabel and sisters did not stay in the UK, after 1891 and possibly went back to Shanghai, maybe this is where she married? The family talk is her and this Richie (Richard?) Stanley settled in America but as to where and when I dont know.

Many thanks for having a look for her though, your time is appreciated.

Vicki

Thanks again Lorraine

I think that is probably her - it's the same ship as Tytus and the age is right.

I've been trying to look at Ancestry's Canadian Passenger lists. A David L Read arrives in Canada in, I think, 1920, but I can't access the details. Could you have a look for me?

Thanks for all your help,

Sarah

Hi Loraine

Sorry I need some help again,could you please check the UK passenger list 1878-1960 for me, I am trying to trace an Arthur John Pearson born about 1888 in Shanghai, China. I have found:

Arthur John Pearson, UK Incoming Passenger list 1878-1960, arrival London

He does appear in London on the 1891 census (age 4) with his mother Annie Pearson, so he may have arrived sometime round this year.

If there are any other Pearsons on the same ship I would be very interested in that and/or the names Annie Lillian Williams and Mary Williams.

many many thanks

Vicki

Hello Loraine.
Could I ask for your help again please.
The Peggy C Barker/Olson lookup you did for me was the wrong one,I have just got the marriage certificate today and its not my Peggy Barker.
Could you please look to see if you can find a Peggy Newbury nee Barker born 1922 Croydon who married a Frederick C Newbury in SQ 1943 Croydon went to the USA.
Regards Alan.

Hello Loraine, I am pleased to see someone who does Canada look-ups.
I have a problem. I have been told that one of my relations went to Canada, but I cannot find him. His name was Asa Robinson, born 1883, Tosside, Yorkshire, West Riding. I have been told that now deceased family members reeceived letters from Canada, from him.
My wife would also like some information about her uncle, Frank Heselton (may be Hesleton) born 1886 Yorkshire West Riding who went to Canada after the First World War. He went share farming at Medicine Hat, Alberta and we would like to know his death date, think he died in the spring of 1950.
Thanks, hoping you are able to help us.

iam trying to trace a hannah bell greenlees iwas told she was on a boat to new york from southhampton1953

Many thanks Loraine, I appreciate your help, I am stumped as to how the whole family came from Shanghai to the UK in the first place though, however many of their Uncle's were captains, so if they came on board a relatives ship, would they be on a passenger list?

Thanks again

Vicki
