Find Ancestors

Hello Mary, Wonder if you can help with this one. Walter Davidson (joiner b 1855), new wife Jane, and baby James emigrated from Peeblesshire, Scotland around 1881-82, and were next heard of in Dunmore, Pennsylvania in the 1900 census. I also have them in 1910 census and their children in later censuses. What I'm trying to find is the exact date of their immigration and the ship they sailed on (I would guess out of Glasgow). There's nothing on Ellis Island site for that period, don't know if you have any different info. Best wishes, and fingers crossed, Gordon

William F. Cornell born 1848 USA British Subject help finding him and his parents in the 1850 Census? Hi Mary, My husband's ancestor was a William F. Cornell born around 1848 in the USA but down as a British Subject on the 1871/1881/1891 Censuses. I'd appreciate it if you could see if you could locate him in America. Have him and his wife and daughter on the 1871 Census William F Cornell born about 1848 United States Head St James Clerkenwell London Elizabeth M A Cornell born about 1851 St Dunstan, Middlesex, England Wife St James Clerkenwell London Isabel Elizabeth Cornell born about 1870 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England Daughter St James Clerkenwell London I've just found a William (aged 61) and a Frederick (aged 44) Cornell both born in New York on the 1901 Census. Living in Islington Frederick was a Jeweller Manager and William was a licensed victualler. William Frederick would have been 53 though! Was he lying about his age? William Frederick's eldest daughter Isabel Elizabeth married a Frederick William Boyton who was a silversmith in Hatton Garden whose sister's father in law was a Wine Merchant! Hope this helps. Many thanks. Louise

CAROL IN SOMERSET Hi Carol. Have not found anything on immigration but may have found his death. do you know his wifes maiden name and could you give me the names of the children and poss when they were married Mary

GORDON FAIRBAIRN Hi Gordon, sorry to take so long but there are hundreds to look at I was wondering if maybe they travelled seperately, maybe Walter went first and wife and son followed. did you have them on the 1881 census in scotland as I have found a Mrs W Davidson Travelling with a son James in 1878 but no sign on walter on the same ship although qhite a few walters born around that time went before . just a thought let me know what you think Mary

LOUISE IN MAJOR OAK COUNTY Hi Louise can you tell me where they were living in the cesus records you have and what his parents names were it would help to cross check Mary

dear mary, could you poss look for a ella macdonald age 17 left liverpool for america in 1916 thanks suexx

SUZANNE JONES Hi can you tell me where she was born and pehaps her parents names Mary

Hello Mary, Thank you for your kind offer. I am looking for Mary Susan Camp who emigrated to Canada in the late 1890's (she has vanished from the 1901 UK census). I know she ended up in Ontario but it is possible she was in British Columbia for awhile. I am interested to know who she went with as she would have been in her late teens (she was born 1881). If you need any further info please let me know. Simon

Hello again Mary: I have no real reason to believe they travelled separately. But typical of my family they were completely inconsistent in what they told census enumerators. In 1900 Walter said he immigrated in 1882 and Jane in 1883; in 1910 he said they both immigrated in 1880. They were certainly in Scotland in 1881 - they were on the 1881 census, and in December that year married in Edinburgh, with baby James born in 1882 in Scotland before they sailed to USA - I believe later in 1882. But it's a possibility that they met in America, returned home to marry and have the baby, then re-crossed the Atlantic in 1882. It's a tangled web, Mary, and if nothing shows quickly, don't go to too much more trouble - I really appreciate your efforts thus far, Kind regards, Gordon

Hi Mary I wonder if you can look up any Canada Census after this date - Ernest Bayton emmigrated to Canada in 1909 Aged 15 Any information about what happened to him after that would be very helpful Thank you Tammy

HI, I am looking for information on George Morris Hunt bn about 1878 english he was a footman who met and married Jane Matilda woodman on the 30th march 1891 Iowa,bn about 1875 in England surrey, she went over to America to work as a nanny. They married in Iowa and came back around 1892 I know they were in Surrey England as they are in the 1901 census. Any help would be fine if you can not find anything thank you for trying ses
