William John Chapple b 1883, his wife Florence Annie b 1883, children William John James b 1906 Alexander george b 1908 and Joseph b 1910.

Many thanks,

Hello Julia,
Many thanks for the look up, cant see any of mine there, but will keep them to pass on to other people researching Chapple.

I don't really know how to go about looking into how he got to india or arrived home. I have a solid date when he went as my late father in law was born in feb 1910 and his mum wouldnt of been able to of sailed if he had arrived late.

Hi Julia,
Anything on Anthony Redek app 1886 and Ursula Kufetute app 1881 married May,1902 in Bothwell, Scotland.
Came from Lithuania and Bellarus (White Russia) on the same ship and the story goes that they were heading for USA but were dissembarked at Dundee, Scotland.
Afraid I do not know where they sailed from or when but no sign of them in 1901 Scottish census
Apparently there was a program on TV about the ship but I missed it!

Thanks,
Frank.

hi julia thank you for offering
i have a john callaghan born 1898 co mayo .he married my gran in 1925 .in england so he will have travelled over to england during this time do your best and thank you

Hi Frank

Nothing for those names, do you know the name of the ship they came over on.

Regards
Julia

Shemp

There are lots of John Callaghans, none with th at birth date though.

He would only appear on these lists if he'd got onto a ship that docked in Ireland on its way to UK.

I dont think there are any records available for Ireland to England jpurneys.

Regards
Julia

Hi Julia,
I`m afraid I do not know the ship`s name, just that they came from the eastern bloc landing in Dundee and met and married in Scotland.
Traced them from them to present day only knowing the `ship` story from an old family member on my wife`s side.
We were unable to get any more details due to a strange unwillingness to divulge any more details on that side of the family!
Discovered a few skeletons in the tree, but nothing horrifying.
.......aren`t old folk strange!
Did find an unknown Great Uncle who died at Flanders in WW1 and had been totally forgotten about which was rather a shame.
Thanks for trying.
Frank
PS Nothing against old folk as I`ve passed 55 now!

thank you for looking

Hello Julia, Thank you for your kind offer. Would you be able to find a Catherine J Lamb born abt 1893 Scotland travelling from Victoria, Australia 1914-1918, possibly with a child, This would break down a major brickwall for me.
Many thanks in advance
Pauline

Pauline

Sorry there is nothing for Catherine J Lamb with that birth year returning from Australia in that time frame.
What was the name of the child?

Regards
Julia

Hi Julia,

Thank you for your reply, the childs name was Beatrice.

Catherine sailed to Victoria, Australia aboard the Commonwealth in 1914 by 1918 she was back in Scotland were she married.

Regards
Pauline

Pauline

Have checked for all Lambs returning from Australia 1914 1918. Also checked for Beatrice with no surname, Catherine, Katherine, CJ KJ, with no surname, nothing at all.
Hope you get to break down the wall!
Regards
Julia

Hi Julia,

Would you mind checking under the name Dench for me?

Catherine met her future husband Frederick Dench on board the Commonwealth in 1914, she later married him in Scotland 1918.

Many thanks
Pauline

Pauline

Sorry, nothing for Dench either.

Regards
Julia
