Hi Linda Wonder if you can help me please - looking for John Miller who emigrated to Canada mid to late 1920's with wife (name unknown= and 2 children Jack and Audrey. John was born c 1906 in Withnell, Chorley Lancashire. If the info is too sketchy dont worry. Thanks Mary

Hi Linda, Pehaps I wrote too much on my first request for you to read. JAMES MCDOUGALL went to Canada from Scotland on the first ship to sail after the Titanic but I would like to know which one, where from and anything else there may be to know about him which might help to correctly slot him into my family. Thank you for your kind offer to look up for all of us. Regards, Gill

Oh Linda!! Thank you [again] sooo much. I am really thrilled you found my Urens. With such a paucity of information - apart from names - I thought they might prove elusive. Thanks again Victoria

Good Morning All, I think Philip is the onlt one to deal with that's been on the list so far. If I have missed anyone could you please PM me? PHILIP.....I am off to work now but will search for yours this evening. List is still Open Linda

Linda, thanks for the kind offer, could you please look for a female Coldwell in 1893 travelling from London to Melbourne Australia. Also (If you don't mind) could you check for the same, female Coldwell in 1901 (aged 36) travelling from Liverpool to Cape South Africa.

Hi Victoria, Sorry I took so long getting back to you but I had been having a good search, as with such good information from you I felt sure I would have found something Unfortunately absolutely nothing on any of the names. As with others I have difficulty with I searched all different spellings of the name, all dates and all countries. Just in case they went somewhere else first but all with no luck Linda

thanks for the lookup Linda Moira

Sorry Miora, No Sorsby's by those names. I even searched all countries, all dates and various spellings of the name. Sorry Linda

Added By Victoria Cawley on 29/07/2007 18:08:18 | Update Message | Delete Message Hi, Would it be possible for you to do a search for the following people. Sidney Horn Cawley born 1887 in South Brent, Devon and his wife, Nina E V Cawley along with their children Sidney J and Joan N H Cawley, they were both born in Chard, Somerset and Joan was only born in 1920. Could you also do me a favour by looking up a Ruth May Hookway, born 1884 in Middlesex and her husband Thomas Hookway. They may well have gone prior to 1920. Also, again from the same family a Charlotte Cotton born 1855 South Brent. Did you spot the deliberate mistake then - they went to Canada Thank you so much for all your help. Kind Regards Jane

Hello Linda, Thank you so much for trying to find my John Kerr.

Hi SSilver, No sign of any Quickenden's, George or Elizabeth. I have tried all spellings, all countries, and all dates and no one comes anywhere near it. The other one is too late for the dates offered.. They are extending them but I don't know when Linda

I wonder if you can possibly help me, I am trying to find out when my gt uncle GEORGE NELSON GRANT B 1870 may have left Scotland or England for India, I think it would certiany have been after 1901 but that is the only information I can supply. If it is not possible for you to do so,do`nt worry, I`m just taking a shot in the dark here.

Hi Linda - could I ask another favour. At the weekend I found that William and Minnie UREN went to NZ before they came to Australia. They had at least two of their children by then - Leonard Sydney (dob 1893) and Harold Frederick (dob 1891). to make it easier William Salmon Uren Mary Anna [Minnie] Uren Harold Frederick and Leonard Sydney. They had been living in Bristol, Glos. I do not know where they sailed from, so if this is too much of a pain, just give it a miss - and thanks anyway for reading this!! Victoria

Hi Silver' Just popping out back later this afternoon inda

You must be kept very busy, Linda, with all the requests for help, and I am sure your kindness is appreciated, thank you. I have been looking for JAMES MCDOUGALL. He was to go to live with his sister in Vancover, Canada. Because my grandparents took him to the TITANIC I think his parents may have died by then.They watched him go on board but did not know he got off again, he had left his coat where they had had a cup of tea. On return to the ship he found the gang plank had gone up and he did not sail. However he went over on the next ship but I do not know which that would be. His name does not seem to be on the Titanic list. I do not know his age but guess he would be late teens. For added interest, his sister was not at the port to meet him thinking he had gone down with the Titanic and so he asked a port policeman for help. The story goes that the policeman used to live near James sister in Vancover and knew her! I do not have any other information about him i.e.birth or parents names. If you can help I would be grateful but realise I may not have given you much information to go on. Regards, Gill
