Think you are right, I do need to invest in some certs, I will go through my file and the notes posted on here to see if I can work out which ones would be of most help, because I'm into the FH in a big way my kids buy me certs for birthdays and xmas's, helps to keep the cost down and they arn't wasting their money on something I dont need or want.

I have not spent a penny on 1911


There are ways of extracting info though.
Find my past are bring out a subscription in the autumn. I am considering that.


It seems that there are quite a few out there and we just need to join up the dots. You may need to buy some certificates to help. As soon as you do post them on here . I will see when you add to it.

Hi Christine,

Hope the doc doesn't send me back to work for a year! I'll need that long to process all the info that you and Janey have given me, you will never know how grateful I am.

I did find Victor in the asylum but haven't fitted him in yet, he must belong to me cos we're all nuts in our family!!!!!!!!!!!

I was sure that the Amy that married into the Kirkham's was mine but the dates just wouldn't gel, going to have to look into that again, think I will do as Janey suggested and try writing to some of the Kirkhams in Canada and see what I come up with.

Didn't know that Janey was from Canada, no wonder she was so bright eyed and bushy tailed when I was hanging.
Please donot go spending any credits for the 1911c on my behalf as I have credits so if you could just point me in the right direction I can use my credits.... not that I dont appreciate what you are doing for me but it would not be fair for you to use yours.

There's contact info at that page.

George Stafford Kirkham b: September 11, 1884

Also Ancestry tree(s) - did somebody post already?

http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/5042106/person/-1507009269

* Amy Agnes Gouriet
* 1907 11 Nov
* Marriage to George Stafford Kirkham




and if you search here:

http://www.whitepages.ca/

there is currently a George Kirkham in Innisfail, Alberta.

Not a coincidence, I suspect.

There are several other Kirkhams in Innisfail as well.

I think I'd write them all! (It's a tiny place -- total pop 7883 -- so even those that don't have street addresses would still get their mail, I think.)

Somebody really has been busy with your Gouriets in the IGI, you know.


ELIZABETH BLANCHE GOURIET
Birth: 31 JUL 1886 London, London, England
Death: 07 AUG 1961
Father: THOMAS GOURIET - ???
Mother: ELIZABETH GREEN

Your Elizabeth Blanch Gouriet was born in SepQ 1885 - right quarter, wrong year. Not uncommon.


And now going back to the two things Ann o' GG posted way at the beginning (removing all of the %$#* bumph!!!) Why weren't we paying attention??


AMY AGNES GOURIET
Birth: 10 JUN 1885 , , India
Death: 07 SEP 1951
Spouse: GEORGE STAFFERD KIRKHAM

AMY AGNES GOURIET
Death: 07 SEP 1951
Father: LOUIS JOSEPH GOURIET - ???
Mother: ELIZABETH GREEN
Spouse: GEORGE STAFFERD KIRKHAM Family
Marriage: 11 NOV 1907 Innisfail, Alberta, Alberta

Your Agnes Amy was born SepQ 1883 - again, right quarter, wrong year.


We have quite an assortment of *wrong* fathers for what seem to be your Gouriets. But some interesting grains of truth and consistency.


There is a George Kirkham in Innisfail, Alberta, in the 1911 Cdn census. He was born 1854 and has wife Matilda born 1864. That one is awfully coincidental and looks like family. Parents?

There is a George Kirkham in Medicine Hat, Alberta, born 1874, with wife Mary Anna born 1876.


Alberta vital stats can't be searched on line:

http://www.servicealberta.ca/766.cfm

But - all those Innisfail Kirkhams in 1911 except the youngest were born in Ontario.

I don't pay for the details at Ancestry.ca:

Ontario birth:
George Stafford Kirkham
date ?
county: Lanark
father: George Kirkham

I can't see anything that looks like a marriage there.

This will be George in 1901 in Alberta:

http://www.automatedgenealogy.com

Kirkham George Head M Sep 10 1852 47
Kirkham Matilda Wife M May 22 1862 38
Kirkham Thomas O Son S Oct 18 1881 19

Kirkham Hanna S Daughter S Sep 24 1886 14
Kirkham William S Son S Mar 24 1890 10
Kirkham Annie P Daughter S Oct 4 1892 8
Kirkham Lawrence F Son S Oct 2 1895 5

But where the *^$# is he in 1911???

And in 1916, which is only at Ancestry. His parents are there ...



These I think are definitely worth tracking down some.


I wonder whether Hamilton Gouriet deserted Julia (or vice vera) and hooked up with Elizabeth Green??

Again, just for future ref: we need everything you got. Although granted, we went a little wayback on this one. ;)

You might want to just print it all off for bedtime perusing with a large brandy.

I think I did manage to sort out those generations! Hamilton's father had two marriages and Hamilton's half-brother had two marriages, I think is how it goes. Certainly throws the &*($ generations off.

(In the family of that gr-grfather of mine -- he had a sister about 8 years older, who married young. I'm from the youngest son in his second marriage, born when he was 50. So when one day I finally got a contact from a descendant of that older sister (not the actress), she was a grx2 granddaughter of my gr-grfather's sister ... making her, at 60, older than me and the same generation as my 8-yr-old niece. Aargh!)

#2 - my eye is feeling like crap just now, overdue for its steroids, so must be off to go lie around on the chesterfield and annoy my own No.1, who can't stand not having the entire thing for himself. -- For #1's info - had surgery on Thursday, do-over of lens replacement, vitrectomy, removal of scar tissue from retina ... still can't see in that eye ... and everybody is much concerned. ;)
