Find Ancestors

Patricia, Sent you an email. Rose

Thank you rosemary for your time and effort in finding the crooks family for me. I have sent you a e-mail for the image if thats ok. Thanks again i appreciate it Tracey

Hi Tracy, I believe I found all the Crooks immigration. It appears William and son John came in 1852, the rest followed in 1854. I have saved the images for you. Just need your email address. Rose

Hi Rosemary Thanks for the kind offer. I have this family in the uk on the 1851 census but then in the USA on the 1860 us census are you able to tell me any more about when they arrived in america if possible please: They were all born and lived in Leckhampstead Buckingham until they went to america. I believe they left between 1851-1855. hope this is enough information to help trace them. This is the info from the us 1860 census: 1860 US Census: William Crook 54 M M England Labourer Ann Crook 53 M F England William Crook 21 U M England Labourer Eli Crook 19 U M England David Crook 13 U M England Emma Crook 12 U F England Scholar Leanna Crook 10 U F England Scholar Living: County Green Lake Wisconsin They also had these other children: annie B sept 1829 but may be married to george scott same age born england. John crook B:1833 / george crook b:1835 / eliza crook B:1837 - married henry cox oct 1858 wisconsin. Thanks very much Tracey

What years do you have for US census records? Can you also access Canadian census, and if so what years? Have several emigrants from the UK and Ireland , also Continental Europe (Poland, Russia)I'd like to follow up on. Please reply via this email address, which I use only for my research: [email protected]

Fiona, There are lots of Thomas and George Spencers on the 1870 who would be about the right age but I am not finding them together with parents. Would you know their mother's first name? I don't see them on the 1871 at least anyone born in the US. I saw George had a middle initial W on the 1881, did Thomas have one? I didn't see him on the 1881. Rose

Sandra, I have emailed you the images. Rose

Rose Can I try another one please. George Cooper arrived Ellis Island 1903 to join son George at 68 Cornhill(?)Boston Mass.He had been to USA before.Age in 1903 stated as 40.Occupation Cab(inet?) Maker.Might you find him in a census - or even son George? Many thanks Barrie

Sandra, On the Immigration records there is a William Fitzsimmons , b 1851 in Scotland, arrived in NY May 31, 1873, age 22. Occupation: Mason Also found William Fitzsimmons on the 1888 Chicago Voter Registration. Saved both immigration and voter registration images. Rose

Sandra, Checked the census records to see if I could find him to narrow down an immigration period. There is a William Fitzsimmons who is the right age and from Scotland living in Rhode Island on the 1870 and 1880. Was his mother's name Catherine or wife's name Margaret (from Ireland)? Rose

Annie, There are several passenger records for William Holmes arriving between 1851-1864 but they don't have ages at the time of arrival. Another thing I found odd is that if he married in 1864 and all his children were born in Utah as it shows on the 1880, I cannot find any of them on the 1870, anywhere. Weird Rose

Hello Rosemary I have newly traced a missing great aunt and husband to Canada, sometime after 1881, but they do not appear to be on the Canadian 1901 census. Could you have a look at American 1910 please to see if they crossed the border. James Cameron would be around 50 in 1910 and his wife Maggie (Margaret ) around 48/49. She was born in Scotland, not sure about James They had a daughter Ellen born Ontario 1897 and Mary born 1891 Thank you Kay

Many thanks for your time and trouble.

Ness, sorry for the typo. I meant to write 1821. I did another search with the possible 1831 date but still no one was found. If I just put the last name with exact spelling in the search criteria for all countries and all records, the only thing that results 1 record on the 1891 UK census and 1 record on the 1901 UK census. Not getting any results on the LDS using exact spelling. The name must have gone through several spelling changes over the years. The most common spelling that appears is Redsell and Redsall. Let me know if you get any new information and I'll do another search. Rose

Deborah, There are 2 Boaks on the 1900 in Pittsburgh, Domanic b 1896 in PA and Magdalia b 1876 in PA. There are many others who are living in other counties in PA and lots more living in other parts of the country On the 1910 there is only Clyde I Boak in Pittsburgh, born 1885 in PA and several more Boaks in other PA counties. Again, lots more in other parts of the country. Are you interested in anyone in particular? Rose

Hi, Can you help with finding any surname Boak in 1901 census in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!! Sorry if its not much to go on!! Cheers Deb

Thanks very much for looking. Looking at these old family tree papers again I see that one notes the birth as being 1821 and the other 1831 but definitely in Portsmouth, son of Thomas and Elizabeth. If 1831 then the emigration might be a bit later. Never mind. Many thanks again.

Ness, It was enough information but didn't find any records for him on the immigration or census records. He is not showing up on the LDS site either at least not born around 1811. Do you where in England he was born? Rose

Thanks so much for this offer. I'm not sure whether you can help me...the info I have is a bit vague. On some old family records I have a note that Robert Restall emigrated to America. As he was born in 1821 I guess he would have left England somewhere between 1840 and 1860. Is this just too vague?! Many thanks.

Lizzie, Didn't find anything for James Ship or Rose Harwood/Winter. I was able to find Emily Ship on the Ellis Island records. I have saved the images for you. Just need your email address. Rose
