Find Ancestors

Mary, Thanks for the offer. Not sure what records you have there, but I'd be really grateful if you could find any info on the following: William Halsey b1803 Shoreditch, London and Christiana Halsey b1810 Surrey. They married in London in 1832 and after that they must have gone to live in America for a while. Their eldest two children were born in America: Frances Halsey b1833 and Charlotte Halsey b1835. They were back in England by the time their third child was born in 1838. I'd be a really happy bunny if you are able to find any trace of them. Helen

MARGARET IN CANADA So sorry Margaret dont seem to be able to see anything. they records dont seem to go far enough back. Regards Mary

CHERLY ANN Hi have searched for hours and this is all i have come up with so far. This could be them in 1900 Federal Census, but living in Wisconsin. Possible moved to Texas later. Janes name is not on the list but she may have been born at a later date. Although I was wondering if Jane could be middle name. James Rowe Head BJune 1850 England Immigration 1882 Kate Rowe Wife Born 1856 Wisconson Dorothy Rowe Born Apr 1889 Wisconsin George Row Born June 1891 Wisconsin Phillipa Rowe Born Sept 1892 Wisconsin Garner ? cant make it out born Oct 1898 Living Milwaukee Ward 18 Wisconsin ------------------------------------------------- Found The above Phillipa on 1930 Census Unmarried Occ Social Worker/Family Welfare, Still living Milwaukee ------------------------------------------------------- Death Phillipa Rowe Born 4th Sept 1892 Wisconsin Death October 1963 ------------------------------------------ Did also find some children born to a Dorothy Rowe and a Dudley Walz Curry in Texas, thats what made me wonder about Jane. I think the family might be them as you gave the parents names as george and phillipa. so it would be natural for James and Kate to carry on the names see what you think and get back to me. I will keep looking in the meantime, havent found james death yet, also do you know if his parents went to US also Mary

Hi Mary, Looking for immigration records from Scotland to Canada before 1857. Can you help? William Christie c1836 and Margaret ?Hanning c1838 - both born Scotland. Their son John was born in Ontario, Canada c1857. Unsure if they were already married when they emigrated, came over as singles, or with their families. Thanks. Margaret

CHERYL ANN GUEST Had a look but cant find anything at the moment but there are hundreds to look at so please bear with me . I wonder if you could give me a bit mor info. ie his parents names, where he was born in England, when his daughter was born and what makes you think Texas anything will help to narrow it down as the US records are vast and have to search thousands of names. it does normally take a few days unless I strike lucky please let me know if you have any more info Regards Mary

Hello Mary If you get time could you please see if you can find any record of Margaret Ada Riley emigrating to Canada. She was born Kilmarnock, Scotland 10 June 1859 and I lost her after that until she married my g.grandfather William Thomas Bailey in Garrison Chapel, Halifax, Nova Scotia on 22 September 1880. Cert gives her age as 20. So I imagine sometime between 1876 and 1880, unless of course she went with parents as a much younger child. Her Father was Edward Riley, c. 1839 Mother Agnes (nee McKinnon) c.1840 Any help will be much appreciated. Many thanks for your offer Jan

SHEELAGH PHILLIPS So far I can only find 1 John charles Peace born 1850 new york but his parents names are Charles Fish born c1827 and Maria Maiden Name Nodder cant find anything for a Charlesor Maria or Sarah Peace around that time. I wonder did your John charles move back to the UK if so what was his wifes name Mary

GILLIAN HINDLEY Hi Gillian So far I have not traced your Bartholomew, But still looking, I decided to leave him alone for a couple of days, as there are so many with the same name you sometimes loose track of what your searching for. Did find a possible immigration Date for a Margaret Mcdermott age 26 She emmigrated in 1897 dob c1875 but cant seem to find them together, As I say will keep trying Mary Feel free to give me a shout again in a couple of Days, Hoping to look at him again tonite or tomorrow afternoon

Hi Mary - many thanks for your kind offer. Could you look on 1850 census New York for - Charles Peace (age 24) Maria Peace (21) Sarah Peace (1) Charles & Maria arrived 23/09/1848 on ship New World from Liverpool - Sarah wasn't with them so am assuming she was born in America. They also had a son John Charles Peace born New York 1850. Many thanks - Sheelagh

CAROLE VINT ()LOL) only just noticed you have not given me her name Mary

CAROLE VINT Hi Carole will look. I have just explained to Gillian that the records for the US and Canada are Vast so please give me a few days. If I come across anything tonite I will get straight back to you Regards Mary

GILLIAN HINDLEY Hi Will look for you, Can I just say that if you have read the thread then you will know that the american and canadian records are vast compared to the uk ones. so please give me a few days. If I find anything straight away I will certainly contact you. Regards Mary

Hello Mary I would be very grateful if you could help me to find what happened to my dads uncle Bartholomew Mcdermott. b1871 married a Margaret Stanley in Liverpool 1890 and then emmigrated to Canada in early to middle 1890's. My Aunt recalls hearing stories of him working as a train driver and says he took one of the first trains across Canada. I hope this is enough for you to be able to begin a search. His fathers name is Thomas, mother is Amelia Banks. Look froward to hearing from you Best wishes Gillian

Thank you very much for looking Mary, Regards Cherryl

Thanks Mary I think father was William Bavin (that's name on her marriage cert), mother Elizabeth Bavin. In 1841 England Mary was in Cambridgeshire, with elizabeth, 10 years later she's with gran (says mother on census) Mary bavin in Wimblington, Cambs. Confused? You bet!! Christine

CHRISTINE HOOK So sorry Christine Ancestry does not seem to have Michigan Births for that period Perhaps you could send me her parents names and I could search those for marriages Mary

hello mary, thanks for generous offer. bit of a long shot, but if you have time, i'm looking for Mary Elizabeth Bavin, born 1837 (i think) in Michigan. In 1841 she's in Cambridgeshire, UK, but I'm still seeking definite info on parents. Hopefully in anticipation!! Christine

STEVE 418267 Hi your Percy is certainly Elusive. I have tried searching for a percy with wife annie but can see nothing I have looked at hundreds of them. I am now about to search deaths to see if I can back track. they certainly are not in New York unless my eyes have gone squint (LOL) I have found like yourself Percy on the 1901 census in England but cant tie his birth date into any percys in america I suppose he could have lied about his age or just got it wrong. Will keep trying thou in between other searches. Sometimes if you keep going back you see something you missed the first time regards Mary
