Good Morning All, I think Philip is the onlt one to deal with that's been on the list so far. If I have missed anyone could you please PM me? PHILIP.....I am off to work now but will search for yours this evening. List is still Open Linda

Oh Linda!! Thank you [again] sooo much. I am really thrilled you found my Urens. With such a paucity of information - apart from names - I thought they might prove elusive. Thanks again Victoria

Hi Linda, Pehaps I wrote too much on my first request for you to read. JAMES MCDOUGALL went to Canada from Scotland on the first ship to sail after the Titanic but I would like to know which one, where from and anything else there may be to know about him which might help to correctly slot him into my family. Thank you for your kind offer to look up for all of us. Regards, Gill

Hi Linda Wonder if you can help me please - looking for John Miller who emigrated to Canada mid to late 1920's with wife (name unknown= and 2 children Jack and Audrey. John was born c 1906 in Withnell, Chorley Lancashire. If the info is too sketchy dont worry. Thanks Mary

Hi Gillian, I was very interested to hear about James Macdougall but am a little confused. Am I right in saying that you think he missed boarding the Titanic and got the next ship after that. Then you said he went from Scotland.....but the Titanic sailed from Southampton. Can you tell me again please.....Sorryyyyyy Linda

Sorry Maud, I seem to have missed you out. Sorry no luck with George, there are so many. Have you any idea if he was single married or any ideas what his occupation was|? Linda

Linda, Thanks so much for looking, have just sent PM. Thanks Phil

Hi Linda. James McDougall did miss the Titanic and went on the next ship. My grandparents must have travelled from Scotland to Southampton to wave him off on his way to a new life. ( I did not know which port the Titanic sailed from-something I ought to have known) Regards, Gill

Hello Linda, I'm hoping for information on 2 of my great Uncles. Charles Edward Harris b 1862 emigrated to Australia some time after WW1. He had a wife Ellen and 3 children, William C Harris, Herbert G Harris and Elizabeth Harris. Frederick Oliver Harris b 1877 went to Canada also after WW1. I think he was single. That's all the information I have except that Charles was a butcher before the war. I know it's a long shot as I've no idea where they went. Thanks Janice.

Hi Linda, could you look up George Brand Morrice born 13.3/1872 in Aberdeen for me, He is supposed to according to family stories have ended up a harbourmaster in Sydney Australia, I dont have any idea what year it would be. Thanks Sandra x

Hi Linda, Just a catch up. I sent you a message of thanks and a request for a look up on the 23rd July. Unfortunately I went away on the 25th and wondered if you had found anything for me. It was regarding Edward Grimshaw going to ? New York about 1902. As you asked what his occupation was, he was a miner but went to work in the Auto industry. Hoping you found his passage, Joan x

Linda . have sent you a pm - many thanks Love Mary xx

Hi Linda This is a very kind offer. Please could you look up the following people please. I think that the men went to Canada but where their sister went to (if anywhere!) is anybody's guess: Arthur Francis TREDCROFT b1880 Bernard Eversfield TREDCROFT b 1883 Barbara (Edith) TREDCROFT b1886 - I can't find a UK marriage for her so I think that if she went abroad it would be under her own name. Many thanks Bo

Hi Gill, I am still trying to find James. I will have another try. He's got to be there somewhere

Hi Linda Are you able to search for sailings from Cork, Ireland to this country? If you are I will send further information. Thanks for the offer anyway. Chris

Good Morning Joan, No luck with Edward Grimshaw I'm afraid. As the requests have slacked off a bit I am going to go back over some of the ones I couldn't find and have another look. If I do find anything I will PM you. Linda

Hi Sandra, Have you got any other info. on Thomas Morrice as nothing jumps out at me? I have tried all other spellings. Was he married? Do you have him on any Census's? Linda

Hi Janice, No luck with your Great Uncles. Can you give me any DOB's for the children? Linda
