I will remember that Sylvia,thankyou

You can sometimes find records on Family Search, especially immigration landing information for Canada.

Ah I dont have Ancestry membership. i always seem to forget the GRO for searching unless im ordering certs. I shall have to remind myself to try there too.
Thanks

You're welcome, Florence.

Everything I've posted, including the passenger lists, is from Ancestry - although I've posted a few births and deaths from the GRO site for the sake of having middle names in full, instead of just initials as on Ancestry or FreeBMD..

ArgyllGran, thankyou so much for all this info. I really do appreciate it but tell me how did you access the passenger lists ? Do you need to subscribe to a special site?

It had crossed my mind that they maybe emigrated but had no idea how to access that info.

Thanks again
Much appreciated

[Not sure I would marry someone called Philander! ]

Ah well, found it but its put as Ceril not Cecil as on the census!! Cant trace a marriage or death but now will search with Ceril! No death or marriage for Nat that i can see .

Thanks anyway.

Put in NOBBS and select Suffolk and the year.

Right tried searching on just Nat and yes it comes up. There are 2 entries! But tried that with just cecil and nothing or am i blind?

Sorrry it is Nobbs. I have looked but nothing comes up, hence im asking for help!

Try looking for NOBBS - the births are on freebmd….
