Hi Lorraine

Thank you for your kind offer.

Looking for info please on Justice James LIDDELL b. 1863 Victoria, Australia, d. 1933 Victoria, Australia. Father James, mother Annie (nee JUSTICE); I have info on them in Australia.

I found his passage to San Francisco, California, departing April 1910 and arriving 9th Nov 1911. I think from South Africa; can't read the name of the ship. His last permanent residence was in Vancouver, Canada. He was a bricklayer, aged 46. He states he had previously been in the USA in California & Arizona in 1909-10.

I don't know when he left Australia, nor when he returned. I have not found a marriage for him here.

Any records of him in the US or Canada please? Hoping the unusual given name will help!

Thank you!

Hi Lorain, I wonder if you can help me I would be very greatful.

My father Frederick Cotterill told me a story about when he was a little boy, A man came to visit his parents and got talking to my dad, he said he was from Canada, he told hjm about how he had to cut a blaze in trees to mark his route so he could find his way back, The man also told him that he had come to see the little boy who was named after him, His name being Frederick Cotterill. William Frederick in some records.

If he was in the Great War and was demobbed in Britain or going back to Canada my father wold have been 8 yrears old, my dad was born 1910.

Father Alfred cotterill b1857, mother Dinah Gossage b1855.
Ferederick Cotterill b1879, siblins Ashwell Minnie and Florence.
all are in the records untill 1901 after that they just disapear.

Hello Lorraine,

Thank you so much for your offer. Could you please look up for me in Canada.

Abel Swanborough b 1822 Camerton Somerset, England
Ann Swanborough b 1817 Somerset, England

There could be many variants on the spelling Swainsbury/Swanbury/Swansborough etc.. Abel married Ann in England in 1843, then I have a death for him in Quebec, Canada in 1899. I would so appreciate anything that you could find out about him.

Thank you
