Hi Lorraine

Can you help with this ?

James TILLIN emigrated (from Eng) to Canada ? Quebec ? when

Daughter Elizabeth Sarah TILLEN born c 1872 Quebec ?date/baptism

Did wife die before he returned ?

Returned ? when but was back by 1879 with daughter and marrying again

Hi Loraine

Sorry I need some help again,could you please check the UK passenger list 1878-1960 for me, I am trying to trace an Arthur John Pearson born about 1888 in Shanghai, China. I have found:

Arthur John Pearson, UK Incoming Passenger list 1878-1960, arrival London

He does appear in London on the 1891 census (age 4) with his mother Annie Pearson, so he may have arrived sometime round this year.

If there are any other Pearsons on the same ship I would be very interested in that and/or the names Annie Lillian Williams and Mary Williams.

many many thanks

Vicki

Thanks again Lorraine

I think that is probably her - it's the same ship as Tytus and the age is right.

I've been trying to look at Ancestry's Canadian Passenger lists. A David L Read arrives in Canada in, I think, 1920, but I can't access the details. Could you have a look for me?

Thanks for all your help,

Sarah

Hi Loraine

Thanks for looking. I'm afraid I know nothing about this side of the family, other than names from photos and the census records, and little tit bits of info passed down through the generations which has probably been distorted along the way.

All I know is Mabel Pearson was born in 1880 in Shanghai, she is on the 1891 census as being in Anglesey with her Aunt Mary Thomas, and sister Ada Pearson, and 2 half sisters Lillie and Mary Williams. I know their mother returned to Anglesey or Cheshire around 1901, so had assumed the children had done as well. I guess now Mabel and sisters did not stay in the UK, after 1891 and possibly went back to Shanghai, maybe this is where she married? The family talk is her and this Richie (Richard?) Stanley settled in America but as to where and when I dont know.

Many thanks for having a look for her though, your time is appreciated.

searched for a david read on the same ship and nothing there

i looked for a boarder crossing for tytus and winifred to usa and nothing there either

Hi Lorraine

I hope you don't mind me asking for more help. I tried looking for Winifred Skirsyk in the Canadian Passenger lists and found a Winiford Skizzyk arriving in Quebec in 1919. I'm wondering if it is her but I can't access the records. As Tytus was in the army then I guess they may have travelled separately to Canada. Also, if it is her there's an outside chance that her brother David Read travelled with her, though I can't see an obvious entry. He was in the Royal Marines so it is possible he worked his passage to Canada.

Also, my Aunt thinks that Tytus and Winifred left Canada for the States after a few years. Is there any record of this?

Many thanks for your help,

Sarah

Thanks for looking Lorraine.

That could be him although i doubt it. As far as I know Charles didnt have a middle name.

Thanks again for all your help

Lorraine

Hi Lorraine

I am trying to track down Charles Gray/Gray born 1847 in Winterton, Lincolnshire. Last known to be with his parents in 1861 then he disapears. I was wondering whether you may be able to find him in Canada.

His Mother was Ann Gray nee Hollingsworth and father was George Gray/ grey

thank you very much

Jane

Hi Lorraine
I have a Samuel Lee Branton on the USA census up to 1900 living at Omaha Nebraska. aged 78 years
he came back to the UK for a visit and is on the 1901 census then returned to the USA in 1901 as shown on the passenger lists, would it be possible to find a death for him
Thank you
John

Hi Loraine
You kindly tried to find one of my ancestors on the US census, and I now have another very vague request, not sure you will be able to do anything with such little information but thought it might be worth a shot.

I am trying to trace what happened to a Mabel Pearson born 1880 in Shanghai. I have her on the 1891 census in Angelsey, Wales. All I know about her is she apparently married a Richie Stanley and they moved to the US.

Vague I know, I assume she married around 1895 and have failed to find her on the UK records, can you help any

Thanks

Vicki

Thanks Lorraine that's really helpful. It does look like he went to the States

We didn't know Tytus was in the army - we thought he was a refugee.

Do you have any idea what this bit means?
Relative: Natay
Relationship: Brother

Thanks again, you are very generous with your time.

Lorraine,
Thank you so much.

Sandra

Lorraine.
Thank you very much for looking.
Regards Alan..

Thanks for looking Lorraine. This family is so frustrating.

It's a long shot but if you have time can you look for him in Canada? His service record says New York but his sister Winifred Read married a Ukranian Tytus Skirsyk (that is how it is spelt on the wedding certificate but I guess it may vary) and went to Canada so I guess he could have gone there instead.

Many thanks

Sarah
