I am looking William James Rodgers. He arrived in Canada in the 1920's from Belfast. He had 3 other brothers Samuel, David,Alexander. Samuel and David once lived in Montreal and got land grants in the late 1920's. I found a William James in the BC archives but don't know if that's him. Can anyone help?

Thank You in Advance
Linda

Not much help but I can rule out the William James Rodgers who passed away on Sept 3, 1970 is not the one you were looking for.

death date: 03 Sep 1970
death place: Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada
name: William James Rodgers
gender: Male
age: 79y
birth date: 04 Mar 1891
birthplace: , Manitoba
marital status: Married

I knew that seemed really way to likely. Thank you though.

I found a couple of possible immigration records for William James Rodgers.

Aug 1923 - 29y - travelling from Montreal to St. Albans, Vermont husband of Sarah residing at 11Kilraman St., Belfast he was an Iron worker travelling on the White Star Dominion.

4 Jul 1926 arrived at New York on the Adriatic - he was a ships plater - same wife at same address.

Thanks Judy,
That's William James now we know that at least one of the brothers went to the United States.

Since his wife Sarah seems to stay in Ireland, he have travelled back and forth but died in Ireland.
