Charles Collingwood.

Bruce Report 14 Dec 2016 20:57

Charles Collingwood was baptised at North Willingham on 10.2.1828.
I have traced a Charles Collingwood in Canada in the 1881 census, b. 1828 in England. He was married to Frances, whom I believe to be Frances Riseborough bap. on 24.8.1935. On her death certificate her parents are given as Robert and Mary Riseborough, (Nee Coe). These are correct for the baptisms on 24.8.1935.
On Family Search, Frs is show in Canada aged 16 years.
I cannot find the death certificate for Charles Collingwood on line on Family Search, although Find a Grave records show him dying in 1895.
Can anyone find a marriage record for Charles and Frances.
Can anyone find a death certificate for Charles.
Can anyone find passenger records for either of them.
I am trying to see if Charles Collingwood bap. in 1828 is the same person in Canada.
Thanking in advance

Your typo re Frances was initially confusing - you probable meant she was baptised in 1835, not 1935. .

The monument inscription for her reads
Death: Jun. 24, 1918 in her 83rd year.

Buried
Whitchurch-Stouffville
Ontario, Canada

Looking at http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/en/tracing/the_records.aspx

Marriage registrations and indexes on microfilm [ca. 1801] - 1869 [Word, PDF]
Marriage registrations online, at www.ancestry.ca – [ca. 1801]-1928, 1933-1934
• Death registrations and indexes on microfilm [Word, PDF] - 1869-1942 plus deaths of Ontarians overseas, 1939-1947
• Death registrations online, at www.familysearch.org– 1869-1937 plus deaths of Ontarians overseas, 1939-1947
• Death registrations online, at www.ancestry.ca– 1869-1938, 1943-1944, plus deaths of Ontarians overseas,

MargaretM & I have been looking at Ancestry. You know your way around FS. Between us you’d have thought we could have found Charles’ marriage & death record! We know he died, but we aren’t sure that he formalised his relationship.

Its always possible that the record(s) haven’t survived the passage of time.

Edit - if you go to the first link, it appears you can download either a Word doc or pdf of the registrations where listed. It might be worth doing that even if you then have to apply for a full copy elsewhere

A tree on ancestry has this for Frances' marriage.

Marriage
Aug. 6, 1857 • Markham, York Co.,Canada West, Ontario, Canada

It seems that Emily Jane and Nelson were both born before this marriage date. Was Charles married previously? The 1871 census states Emily was born in England but Charles and Frances were married in Canada.


and her birth and emigration.


Birth
11 Aug 1835 • Norfolk County, England

1835

(AGE)
Immigration
1836

Immigrated to Canada with her family




and this for Charles.


Marriage
Abt. 1854 • Ontario, Canada
Margaret Unknown

(–1857)


There is nothing added to sustantiate any of this though.

Many thanks everyone for your help. I take it the tree is the marriage for Frances and Charles Collingwood.
