Mary Ann Grimshaw (nee Saunders)

acctwizard — 2013-05-20 17:27:28Z

I am trying to find the passenger list with my grandmother Mary Ann Grimshaw. Born July 4 1886, Salford England.

In the 1911 Canada Census, she lists 1904 as her year of immigration, but I can't find any record of her crossing.

I know that her mother(Elizabeth Alice) and two sisters (Lucy and Martha)came to Canada in 1903 and her older brother Emmanuel Knott Grimshaw in 1906.

Any help finding this record would be great.

Who paid for trip?

shammond93 — 2013-05-13 23:28:12Z

On a 1920 Ocean Arrival form for relatives coming from the UK to Canada this question was answered "government". Can any one explain this for me, please.

Sorry, typo. She is in the 1911 census.

PamelaWagster — 2013-05-09 06:49:29Z

If she was listed in 1901 canada census how could she have travelled to Canada in 1904? Is this an error with the dates?

Monday Evening, January 21, 1907
Page 5, Column 3
Noted Man’s Son Dies In Seattle
Charles B. Mackay, Son of Famous Literateur, Dies at the Home of His Son, J.R. Mackay of This City
Was Brother to the Distinguished Author George Eric Mackay and of Marie Corelli
Charles B. Mackay, eldest and only surviving son of the famous British author, Dr. Charles Mackay and brother of the distinguished George Eric Mackay and of whom Marie Corelli was an adopted sister, died at the residence of his son, J.R. Mackay, at 1212 East Pine Street yesterday morning at the age of 73 years.

Mackay was born in London September 20, 1833 and at the age of 21 came to America and settled in Toronto where he married. In 1883 he moved to Chicago where he lived until coming to Seattle about three months ago. While young, Dr. Mackay, father of the Seattle man, began writing for Belgian newspapers and also while a young man sent poems to English newspapers. A volume of “Songs and Poems” followed and then returning to England, Dr. Mackay became a contributor to The Sun, assistant sub-editor of The Morning Chronicle and editor of The Glasgow Argus. Among the songs written by Dr. Mackay are “Cheer, Boys, Cheer;” “There’s a Land, a Dear Land” and many others which are being sung in the schools today.

No less distinguished was the brother of Charles B. Mackay, George Eric Mackay, whose work, “The Love Letters of a Violinist,” created such a sensation in the literary world a few years ago.

Mackay is survived by eight children. Three reside in Seattle, three in Chicago and two in Alaska. The body is to be shipped to Chicago for interment.

Re: Request Look up for passenger: Agostino Zappa

lovethefalls — 2013-04-19 11:42:44Z

Thank you ever so much for your helping hand.

This particular entry is already in my collection.
And it is the right person indeed;
But I cannot find anything about his travel and immigration details.

Perhaps, you could find some info for me and that would be appreciated or any details from the my original query.
Maybe the *1888* year is incorrect(?)
_It was stated in a few Canada Census entries.
With my sincere thanks.
***************************
On the same note, could you find his birth certificate copy.
19 August 1873 Name: Agostino Zappa
(I do not have his name in full)
On Roots Web is it stated: b.19 August 1873
from microfilm Page: Abruzzo 2000 Tom Grilli.
And also found by Mr. Grilli, a military conscript entry.

At Ancestry the different entries: Census of Canada
are: August 1874, 17 August 1874, 17 August 1873, About 1874
My hunch is that his birth was REGISTERED on August 19;
but his actual birth is August 17.
I would love to see the BC dated 19 August 1873.
Details: Parents:
Maria Theresa Di Buccio+Giuseppe Sabatino Zappa

Thanks.

Hi I have no idea who Maria Dmitrivina Biriukova b.1897 is. How is she connected to Frank Albert Moss? I know now that having left his first family in England he then left his second family. After that I don't know where he went. Any information appreciated.

Re: Hearn's born in England who moved to Canada Stanley Thomas HEARN

Emzey01 — 2013-04-04 07:29:11Z

Thanks for the reply.

Yes i have tried searching on the National Archives website, on here and through Google but nothing. His twin sister never believed he died at sea.

Unfortunately the record for the outward passengers from Southampton doesnt have a forwarding place. It just lists the last address in the UK and destination port.

Re: Hearn's born in England who moved to Canada Stanley Thomas HEARN

sstanger1 — 2013-04-03 22:25:32Z

Hi, Just a thought
If Stanley Thomas HEARN b. Gillingham Kent England July 22 1912 -in the Navy - died at sea. There would be records.
has a search been done?

You have found 2 records of Stanley HEARN travelling to Canada - Port of Southampton to Port of Montreal Canada in April 1938. Is there a destination/ Province/ mentioned

Hearn's born in England who moved to Canada

Emzey01 — 2013-04-03 19:35:20Z

Im not sure if anyone can help me but im trying to trace any information about Stanley Thomas Hearn born in Gillingham, Kent, England on 22nd July 1912, he had a twin sister born the day before. They were seperated when their mother gave them away after remarrying (supposidly). His sister was told he died at sea in the navy from drowning but they believe he moved to Canada. I have found 2 records of Stanley Hearn's travelling to Canada, the one i believe is nearest to our Stanley is a man who left from Southampton to Montreal in April 1938, he had been a farmer here and was going to live in Canada.

If anyone has any information on Stanley we would love to hear from you.

How to find out when my grandfather changed his name

tgit_1 — 2013-04-02 23:23:24Z

Hi there. I am looking to find out when my grandfather legally changed his birth name to his name that I knew him as. I know that his birth name was Dirk de Kok, born in Goes, Zeeland, Netherlands on March 13, 1907. His parents were Hendrick de Kok and Janna Pieternella Boogert. I know that when he came to Canada, his passport read Dirk de Kok, the ship manifest from the Library and Archives Canada has him listed as Dirk de Kok, arriving on the Albertic White Star on May 18, 1930 in Quebec, QC. When he and my grandmother married (Edith Joan Flannery) on June 9, 1938, his name was Richard Cook.

How do I begin trying to find out when he legally changed his name? Unfortunately, there is no one left alive in my family that would be able to answer this question for me and all documents are long since gone.

I would appreciate any help anyone could give.

Thank you.

Thank you for this information. How did you find out the dates for SS Corinthian trips? My grandmother settled in Montreal, married there in 1913, was widowed in 1915/16, married again and in 1923 immigrated to US. Lived first in Trenton,NJ, I believe, and then Lodi, NJ where she died in 1977. I have information on all these facts, except marriage to her second husband.

Re: SS Corinthian

Marian_ODonnell — 2013-03-27 22:40:39Z

Are you talking about US census? If so, she would not be on this census because she didn't migrate to US until 1923 and she starts appearing in the 1930 US Census. I will check the 1916 census though.

Re: Immigration Records

Yes, thank you so much. This is my Alfred and Ann McGrath. I have been searching for a while. I will have to, as you said, try different spellings of the surname. I will search the USA too. Again Robert, thank you so much.

Re: Immigration Records

RobertJerin — 2013-03-20 11:00:08Z

Perhaps this is your Alfred and Ann? As you can see Ancestry has mistranscribed the surname as McGrach, but looking at the manifest it is clearly MCGRATH He was traveling with Ann MCGRATH age 63

Name: A McGrach
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1874
Date of Arrival: 24 Jul 1908
Vessel: Virginian
Port of Arrival: Quebec
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Roll: T-4759

Sometimes it is better to search by partial name, due to mistransribed databases.

Also you may want to search US arrivals as some immigrants to Canada arrived at US ports

drabick1587 — 2013-03-17 21:55:11Z

I have been trying to find my ancestors who have immigrated to Canada. I have found them on the 1911 Canadian Census where it said they immigrated in 1908. They all were on the 1901 England Census. They have to have immigrated between 1901 and 1911. I have checked all immigration records and can't find them. Any other ideas on where and how to check for them.
Their names are: Ann Sutherland McGrath born 1846 Sutherland Scotland; Alfred McGrath Born 1874 Glasgow, Scotland; Annie Cowan McGrath Bell born 1869 London, England; Edward Charles Bell born 1857 England. Thank you, Susan

Hi

I am looking for any information about the Aldred family who moved from England to the Toronto area of Canada in 1949.

John Robert Aldred (Bob)b.1923 Nottinghamshire, England

His wife Irene Aldred (nee Thomas) b.1925 Nottinghamshire, England

I know they had at least one child:
Robert Aldred b.1953 in Canada.
I'm hoping there were more.

I also know that John's mother Ada Aldred (nee Dunnicliffe) b.1884 in Nottinghamshire emigrated over there too.

Any information would be appreciated.

William TAYLOR B 1897 in Northumberland, England > Canada?

waynot1 — 2013-02-19 13:39:27Z

My Great Uncle William was born in the north of England to Adam and Margaret Taylor, he had one brother. 1906 the brothers were orphaned, William's Brother Robert married my Grandmother, in 1919. My Mother once told me that William left England for Canada she thought. I have tried many leads, but getting no where.

Re: William Taylor B 1897 in Northumberland, England

waynot1 — 2013-02-19 01:36:19Z

I am not aware of a middle name for William, I think from what my Mother told me is that he came to Canada, before his brother was married to my Grandmother Lily Savage (hart). I think he was in the British Navy before he left England. After they were orphaned, aunts and uncles took care of them... I can find them both on 1911 Census under 2 different families....

Re: William Taylor B 1897 in Northumberland, England

sstanger1 — 2013-02-19 01:30:54Z

Do you have any idea when William TAYLOR b. 1897 - may have come to Canada?
Before or after his brother Robert TAYLOR married your Grandmother ?

Does William TAYLOR - have a middle Name ?

Perhaps he enlisted in WW1? or was one of the British Home Children?

Is there no information - correspondence ?

Have you searched FindMyPast - Outbound passengers?
Have you searched Family Search org. Online

immigration into canada

daiseysue03 — 2013-02-08 04:54:16Z

So when an immigrated landed by boat in canada what happened? Did they apply for naturalization when the reached port? Or did they have to be in the country for a specific amount of time first? Did they even have to apply for naturalization at all once in Canada? If they married a Canadian did that grant them citizenship?
Thanks

Thanks for the response! Both of those you've listed are my Jankel. He and his family travelled from Hamburg to Hull and then caught a train to Liverpool and boarded the Lake Winnipeg to Canada. He was born in Russia around 1865-66. I have both of these but can't find record of their entrance into Canada. His wife is Briene and would later be called Bertha. His daughter is Dobre and would later be called Dora. The others are relatives he was chaperoning. Thanks again.
