Find Ancestors

Hi thanks to all for help - I can confirm that Florence Bouldry went to Canada with her two brothers (both killed in 1st World War) I am in contact with her descendants. The only one from the Bouldry family I can't trace is Alberta - but the lead on Mexico could be good because many Cornish miners went there

VAL :-)

Yes Jan I think that is John Green Boundry's daughter who went to Canada. On the 1911 census they had 2 Boundry lodgers, who from memory were William and Frederick (23 & 19 I think).

My guess for F. Bouldry:

Births Jun 1880 (>99%)
BOULDRY Florence Mary Truro 5c 165

(In fact an Ancestry tree has her marrying in Toronto in 1907.)

Jan

Her father died in 1907.. and that is the record I found leaving the UK, but couldn't find her immigration into Canada. So I guess it doesn't say "going to join aunt" then!

This one says "Going to be Married"


Name: Miss F Bouldry
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1880
Date of Arrival: 29 Jun 1907
Vessel: Virginian
Search Ship Database: View the 'Virginian' in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database
Port of Arrival: Montreal, Quebec
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Roll: T-490

Eliza Alberta's older brother John Green Bouldry had daughter Florence Mary (1880), who was on the 1911 Canadian census, having emigrated and married to John William Bingham in 1907 in Ontario. Husband was also from England.

I can't find her arrival in Canada, to see who she was going to join though - but Valerie did suggest in her opening post Eliza Alberta may have gone to America.

Edit: Sorry, corrected the names, was talking out of my hat earlier!

Oh bother so rules out Parkin

Not found anything else

Birth for one of the Parkin children if you consider going down that route

Births Dec 1899 (>99%)
PARKIN Vivian Laurence A Truro 5c 126

Added - as the Parkins seem to have been ruled out, ignore the above

And this


Name: Eliza Alberta Hick
Birth: Oct 1870 - Truro, Cornwall

Death record rules out for sure I would think:

There is also probate of an Eliza Alberta Parkin in 1942 - can you check that out Glitterbaby?
Doesn't seem to be the right one though does it? I'd guess Astra has her.
