pm from Brian:-

Hi Catherine,A happy 2013 to you. You were so good at helping me that I wonder if you can help one more time? It is John Howard Nankevill born 1849 in Cornwall,England. He emigrated to Canada and it was his son that you researched. Are you able to find when he emigrated and when he died and if he had children? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

I'm just wondering if this could be wife and daughter in 1911:-

My ancestry account doesn't allow me to view this record:-


Easter N F Nankivell
Border Crossings: From Mexico to U.S., 1895-1957

........but it would seem to be relevant!

Wonder if this is the daughter?

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915 about Easter M [FP] Nankivell
Name: Easter M [FP] Nankivell
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1910
Registration district: Medway
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 2a
Page: 732

(Had a look at original and name does look like Easter M F)

................Easter is such an unusual name, could very well be especially as middle names are M and F ?

This is his wife:-

thought this might be him coming back to England:-

............but if he married on 14th April of the same year, then it probably isn't ?

These looks like the sons:-
