Find Ancestors

Thank you for your kind offer Mary, I am trying to find my great uncle Frank Briscoe he was born 1903 in salford served in the army then emigrated to Canada Saskatchewan dont know if he married had children or when he died, any help would be most appreciated Jackie

Mary , His parents names are Donald Mckenzie and Helen Brown Siblings names are Alexander , John, Janet,Catharine, Mary Donald Thank you Donna

DONNA Hi Just one more question, do you happen to know his parents names. on the previous census records I assume you have him on the 1861 it helps narrow it down especially if he married as is scottish tradition (being scots myself ) most of the names were passed down ie. son called after grandfather daughter called after grandmother etc. any help could narrow it down Mary dont worry we are all still new and still ask help from others

Thank you so much I'm just about ready to give up on this fellow Best wishes Donna

DONNA Hi No problem I will search the english records first and then the Immigration. although as I say Only found that one on immigration will be in touch Feel free to give me a nudge if you havent heard from me for a couple of days. Mary

Hi Mary only the ones on LDS . Just new at this Don't know where to look next. Best wishes Donna

DONNA SIMON Hi it was just that I found a Robert McKenzie emmigrating but he had family with him. Have you tried the english census records. Please excuse me if I seem to be asking a lot of questions. Mary

Mary the last census 1871 I found him in was Auchterderran , fife He was working on a farm . Haven't found any marriage went on scotlands people costing a fortune on the hit and miss game Thanks donna

DONNA SIMON Could you give me details of the 1871 census and do you know if he was married or had any children. Mary

Hi Mary , Thankyou for the offer I'm having trouble with this one Robert Mckenzie Born Kinglassie , Fife ,Scotland (1853) disappeared after 1871 census Could you please check it's probably a long shot. Thank you Donna

ANNIE SINGLETON Hi Annie Sorry not to have been in touch, I lost your notes, My apologies. I did search all passengers throu America to Canada bot nothing for them that I can see and unfortunately there is not much on Ancestry for Canada Mary

Hi Mary Thanks for that information-those Stuttgart births look interesting-looks like i need some German contacts. Thanks again

Hi Mary Thanks for all the info, it's going to keep me busy for a while. Let me know when you need another look up and I'll see what I can find for you. Thanks again Dawn :-)

JONATHON Just a thought as the johnathon was on another page of the same ship, maybe it wasnt him. Maybe wife and children travelled at a later date and he went earlier. it was quite common in those days for the male to travel and find work etc and then send for the family. I will try another search, but couldnt see anyone with that name born Yorkshire Mary

JOHNATHON So sorry having problems keeping the images it wont let me save them Mary

MIRANDA PUTTOCK Sorry but Ancestry does not have much on the Candian Census and Births Mary

STANLEY ARCHER Hi Stanley had a look at the names you gave me but when looking at the images the names are deff diff apart from one possible. Hermann Duden Arrived New York 1869 aged 21 this is from the index so does not give any further information. I did look for any Dieudonnes and there are hundreds from france and Germany. Did find two on the same application Number as your Hermann Carl Dieudonne Birth 7th May 1848 Stuttgart Application Date Aug 1866 Destination N America Number 849662 Eugen Wilhelm Dieudonne Born 9th Nov 1855 Stuttgart Application May 1871 N America Number 849662 Also found immigration record for Carl Dieudonne Arrival 1879 Departure Bremen Germany Ship Name Main Travelled 1st Cabin. Nothing on immigration for Hermann or Eugen as yet or Hermann Osterlay Mary

Dear Mary, Do you have access to census/immigration info which could trace the Gibbons family for the years they were in Canada? William Austin Gibbons born Manchester 1842, married Hannah in England and emigrated c 1870/71, supposedly to 'the New York side of Niagara Falls' where they had a restuarant, and where according to family history daughter Alice was born c. 1871. However 1881 census in England has Alice born in Canada. Son William born later in Canada where they moved to at some point before returning to England 1878. Hannah was catholic, but I don't know about William. Another kind person has checked the 1870 New York census, and cannot find the family there, so I wonder if you can shed any light. Many thanks, Miranda

DAWN WRIGHT Hi Daw How are you. Thanks by the way for my look up re NOrthamptonshire. cant find mine anywhere. may have some more for you soon. Anyway have found yours on 1850 as you said. Sometimes its easier to see the images and work from there. There are three you missed on there two of which I think might be parents Edward Hadfield 59 Betty (Probably Elizabeth age 54) and a Sarah Age 19 have made a start on 1860 but there are loads to check so bear with me, Have been working since Friday so not had much online time. am searching yours now and will be online again tomorrow so will be in touch asap Regards Mary
