I am searching for the Lindsay Family - James and Bridgett, their children James, John, Doreen, Patricia, Maureen and Elaine. They came to Canada in 1930. I know James (Jimmy) and Maureen are deceased as are their parents James and Bridgett. Can you help in any way. I think James and Doreen were born in Northern Ireland but the rest in Canada. They apparently lived in Toronto.

Regards

Irene

Hi Lorraine,

Hope you have a brilliant holiday.

Sorry I'm late in replying been having a spot of bother with computer.

That's absolutely brilliant.

Arthur was her son to her first marriage, so you were spot on. That's helped me a great deal. I wasn't too sure I was on the right trail, but your help has convinced me.

I did think Arthur married around 1925 as his children were born 1926 & 1827

Perhaps he was visiting his mother.

Could you do another look up please either his marriage or his family in 1930

Marrriage - Arthur Baker to Edna Sortman between 1920 - 1930 either Pennsylvania or Ohio.

Or
1930 look up Pennsylvania or Ohio
Edna Baker b ? approx 1898 possibly Germany
Doris Baker daugh 1926 Dayton City Ohio
Arthur Baker son 1927 Pennsylvania

Thanks very very much again Lorraine for your brilliant help. It's much appreciated.

Regards, Lou

Dear Lorraine,
Thanks for the reply. All I know about Robert Baxter, (my Grandad's brother) is what my Dad's cousin has told me. Robert went to New York and was never heard of again. Perhaps he was there when WW1 started, and decided not to come back. Sorry to be so vague, but there is no one else I can ask now. I don't think he would have been married.
Kind regards, Liz
