Linda, Could you see if you can find a Thomas SANDY (b1864, Norfolk); Nelson Victor SANDY (b1887, Norfolk) or an Ernest SANDY (b abt 1891, Norfolk). All three ended up in Canada - the latter two as part of the British Home Children scheme. In fact, Linda, I'd be interested in any SANDYs you find ... they're not a big surname group, so I'll be surprised if you find any at all. Thanks for offering to do this! Regs Annie

Hi Moira. Believe it or nor there are 695 John Kerr's. Can you tell me which country you think he might have gone to and did he travel with wife or children? linda

Sorry Kate No John Worsley Linda

Hi please could you look for JOHN SIDNEY KERR b. 1874 yorkshire thank you Moira

I don't know if he'll show up or not, Linda, but I'm looking for a John Worsley born in Lowton near Warrington in 1850. In 1881 and 1901 he is not on the census and he was dead by 1903. He gave his occupation on his marriage certificate in 1890 as 'marine engineer merchant service'. Some of his family went to Canada between the late 19th century and c.1930s - his brothers and father were cotton merchants and agents. He had a wife called Ada nee Willday and one daughter Alice Ada May - they lived at 44 Rimrose Road in Bootle in 1901 but John was not there. I would be really grateful if you could find anything.

Hi Linda, Thankyou anyway for looking up Henry Sheppard. I really appreciate it. Best Wishes Carol

Hi Linda Any chance of finding reference to Thomas Long Eastwood left England after 1860 (born Hull in 1851 - father William) and returned by 1881 when he is on Welsh census and family in Liverpool. By that time married to Mary C Eastwood (born Arkansas) and daughter born 1887 Mary E (born either British Columbia or Seattle as entry differs in 1891 census). Trying desperately to find out where he went THanks
