Gins, that's an interesting development about Fanny.

I have searched all the Incoming into the UK and can't find any record of Fanny
at all.

Hopefully Alison can give us some concrete proof about the marriage she believes to be the Fanny she is looking for.

Gai

I saw that marriage but I also saw a US census with Fanny Farnsworth b CA and husband Frank, father Eli Jacobs

There are also shipping records with an Elizabeth Jacobs, listed as blind and going to stay with Fanny Farnsworth in the US

Maybe it's just coincidence?

Gins,

I sent the 1891 census to Alison by pm and asked how she knew that Fanny returned
to England.

Apparently Fanny married 1894 to a Frank Mould in Wiltshire.

There is this for a possible Eli birth

Hi Alison,
I should be able to send you the 1891 census.

I can't seem to locate them in the 1901 census or Fanny's arrival details.

Hi Gai,

Yes definatley them.....thank you.
Does the transcription on any census give any other details ?...eg migration dates how long they have been married!

Hi,
Trying to find more information on Eli Jacobs born England and wife Elizabeth born Canada....Found Living in Canada 1871 1881 ......There daughter Fanny moved to england betwen 1881 and 1891..I cant find any travel records for her.

Wondering if someone could please have a look 1891 census Canada or any other details from other census .I do not have full membership of Ancestry so not sure what details are given on these.


The family are in Canada 1871 & 1881
Eli Jacobs born 1833 England
Elizabeth Jacobs born 1840 Canada
William born 1862 Nova scotia
Fanny b 1869 '' ""

Eli Jacobs
Canada Census, 1891
birth: 1833 England
residence: 1891
St Stephen, Charlotte, New Brunswick, Canada
...............................................................................................................................
I think Eli could have been born in Wiltshire parents William Jacobs and Harriet..he appears on 1841 census and 1851..then seems to vanish from the uk.

There is also Elijah Jacobs that migrated to Canada in 1883. whom I think could be Eli's brother.

Any help on this would be great.
Thanking you
Alison
