Thanks Linda for what you have found out so far. I now know that Beatrice was in Domestic Service in the 1901 census but I dont know if that was the case 10 yrs after. I wonder if she travelled in her name or did she 'do a runner' if she was supposed to be in service? People did some random things when their O.H disappeared to the other side of the world!! Good luck and thanks again. Jo

Hi Jo, Only one Charles Grinham so it's probably him Name: Charles GRINHAM Date of departure: 21 August 1912 Port of departure: Bristol Destination port: Quebec Destination country: Canada Age: Marital Status: Sex: Not specified Occupation: Clerk Notes: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ship: ROYAL EDWARD Official Number: 125656 Master's name: William Roberts Steamship Line: Royal Line Where bound: Montreal, Canada Square feet: 10054 Registered tonnage: 5669 Passengers on voyage: 1070 Travelled alone so am now going to have a look for Beatrice. Linda

Hi Bo, Glad you got them. I was thinking Governess too, I don't know of any sites doing abroad to UK. Try posting a message, someone else may know something. Good Luck Linda

Many thanks Linda. Yes that's them. Canada I can cope with - but where do I start with Argentina??!!. I guess she was a Governess rather than a governer. Is there a website that does return trips i.e. abroad to the UK? Many thanks for your help KR Bo

Hi Linda, thanks for your offer. The info I have is a bit sketchy but here goes. Ive got a Charles James Grinham born 1882 in Ryde Isle of Wight, who ive found out moved to Canada (poss Oakville) around 1912ish. My Great Aunt, Beatrice Lavinia Damp, born 1885 on Isle of Wight, married him in 1913 in Oakville. Id love to know if she travelled with him or did he send for her later. Where did she sail from and if poss, when did she move back from Canada. Charles died within 2 yrs of moving there. Thanks in advance. Jo

Thank you Linda Re Edward Grimshaw, Joan. Have a nice day.

Hi Bo, Hewre are Arthur and Bernard. even though the initials are slightly wrong and DOB's different it must be them Passenger lists leaving UK 1890-1960 Name: B TREDCROFT Date of departure: 17 August 1907 Port of departure: London Destination port: Montreal Destination country: Canada Age: 22 Marital Status: Single Sex: Male Occupation: Farmer Notes: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following people are travelling companions from your search: - E V TREDCROFT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ship: SARDINIAN Official Number: 0 Master's name: B Henry Steamship Line: Allan Line Where bound: Montreal, Canada Square feet: 13183 Registered tonnage: 2787 Passengers on voyage: 178 Do you think this could be Barbara? There are only 4 Tredcrofts listed on the whole. They have Tredcraft, but on the original image it looks like an 'O' to me. Name: Miss B TREDCRAFT Date of departure: 2 October 1913 Port of departure: Southampton Destination port: Buenos Aires Destination country: Argentina Age: 31 Marital Status: Sex: Female Occupation: Governers Notes: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ship: ALCALA Official Number: 131432 Master's name: W H Bennett Trigge Steamship Line: The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company Where bound: Buenos Aires, Argentina Square feet: Registered tonnage: 6699.35 Passengers on voyage: 207 Linda

Hi Janice, No luck with your Great Uncles. Can you give me any DOB's for the children? Linda

Hi Sandra, Have you got any other info. on Thomas Morrice as nothing jumps out at me? I have tried all other spellings. Was he married? Do you have him on any Census's? Linda

Good Morning Joan, No luck with Edward Grimshaw I'm afraid. As the requests have slacked off a bit I am going to go back over some of the ones I couldn't find and have another look. If I do find anything I will PM you. Linda

Hi Linda Are you able to search for sailings from Cork, Ireland to this country? If you are I will send further information. Thanks for the offer anyway. Chris

Hi Gill, I am still trying to find James. I will have another try. He's got to be there somewhere

Hi Linda This is a very kind offer. Please could you look up the following people please. I think that the men went to Canada but where their sister went to (if anywhere!) is anybody's guess: Arthur Francis TREDCROFT b1880 Bernard Eversfield TREDCROFT b 1883 Barbara (Edith) TREDCROFT b1886 - I can't find a UK marriage for her so I think that if she went abroad it would be under her own name. Many thanks Bo

Linda . have sent you a pm - many thanks Love Mary xx

Hi Linda, Just a catch up. I sent you a message of thanks and a request for a look up on the 23rd July. Unfortunately I went away on the 25th and wondered if you had found anything for me. It was regarding Edward Grimshaw going to ? New York about 1902. As you asked what his occupation was, he was a miner but went to work in the Auto industry. Hoping you found his passage, Joan x

Hi Linda, could you look up George Brand Morrice born 13.3/1872 in Aberdeen for me, He is supposed to according to family stories have ended up a harbourmaster in Sydney Australia, I dont have any idea what year it would be. Thanks Sandra x

Hello Linda, I'm hoping for information on 2 of my great Uncles. Charles Edward Harris b 1862 emigrated to Australia some time after WW1. He had a wife Ellen and 3 children, William C Harris, Herbert G Harris and Elizabeth Harris. Frederick Oliver Harris b 1877 went to Canada also after WW1. I think he was single. That's all the information I have except that Charles was a butcher before the war. I know it's a long shot as I've no idea where they went. Thanks Janice.

Hi Linda. James McDougall did miss the Titanic and went on the next ship. My grandparents must have travelled from Scotland to Southampton to wave him off on his way to a new life. ( I did not know which port the Titanic sailed from-something I ought to have known) Regards, Gill

Linda, Thanks so much for looking, have just sent PM. Thanks Phil

Sorry Maud, I seem to have missed you out. Sorry no luck with George, there are so many. Have you any idea if he was single married or any ideas what his occupation was|? Linda
