I'm trying to find any Canadian records of a George Timmins who was born in 1902/3 in either Walsal Staffordshire or Shifnal Shropshire. His parents were Ernest Edward Timmins and Elizabeth Timmins(nee Collins) Elizabeth died in1904 in Shifnal at her inlaws in a farming accident (shock due too severe burns). I believe that George lived for a time at No 16 Cheswardine Lane Norton Shifnal in Shropshire as a farm labourer, before he left England to emigrate to Canada in 1925 on the ship Aurania leaving Liverpool on the 12/06/1925 for Quebec and Montreal.I know he resided somewhere near Toronto in Ottowa state as a stepsister to George a great aunt to me used to visit him up till at least 1975. i would be greatfull of all and any information as there are two surviving stepsisters to George one of who I am in contact with. many thanks Jim Stansfield
