Hi,

I am trying to trace Steven Joseph Nimmo, born in Ayr, Scotland in 1962 and moved with his mother and father to Canada. steven has a godmother
her May Smith who lives in Scotland. Any help with how to trace or track down someone in Canada would be useful. I have left a message on Ancestry.Ca but so far have had no reply.

HI lorraine,

I don't know if Ralph had any siblings, so no help there.........I think for the moment ( as I keep hitting brick walls) I'm going to have a little rest from him. Lorraine I can't thank you enough for all the help you have given me and your patience. I daresay you will be hearing from me again regarding another family member!!!!!!!

Many, many thanks

Hi Lorraine,
Yes, Thomas Charles Jones had a wife, Sarah Ann Jones but I don't think she travelled with him because there were 2 young children at that time , Elsie and Gladys and there was no talk in the family of them travelling overseas. How I wished I had asked more questions when my parents were still alive!!!

Thanks for the criminals!

I knew they weren't the best-but that looks awful-thats both sides of the family then!

If you have chance could you look closer at William Sargent 16 May 1854
John Sargent 1878 and Willaim Sargent 1885 p[lease and Patrick Gleeson-1861 Mary ann Ingram and Thomas Ingram 1853?

Only if you get chance-you've already confirm suspicions-thanks for the army info-I couldn't find much when I looked beore-I think the Hooper records must have been destroyed largely.


Thanks for all you do.

Hi Lorraine,
Thanks for the offer, I hope you can help me 'cos i don't know where else to look.
I am looking for anything at all on Alexander Moore b. 1880 Lanarkshire, Glasgow, parents are Henry and Margaret nee Stewart, the last time I have him is the 1891 census with his parents aged 11.
There is defintley no marraige or death for him in Scotland.
One of his sisters went to England, I have her on the 1911 census with her family.
Another sister emigrated to Quebec, Canada, I have her on the 1911 Canadian census with her family.
I am wondering if he went with either sister, I really do hope you can help me with this one.

regards

hello there, very nice of you to offer to do look ups. I wonder if you would be able to find me anything on my ancestor.

He's a Patrick Joseph Grant born in Belfast June 1878 and I just think he might have moved to the united states.

I don't know if he was married or about any children I'm afraid. He's the brother of my ggrandmother Julia Grant b Belfast 1879 and his parents were Owen Grant and Ann Carroll married Dublin 1876.

If you could find anything for him I'd be very grateful.
Margaret

Hi Lorraine
thank you for looking
Wolstenholme was definitely his first name but he may not have used it and may have been known as Gwynne. I am not sure if he married but we were told he had died in Illinois U.s.a
