I am trying to trace an auntie who emigrated to Canada in the 1910-20s I know she married before she went out there but cannot trace the name of her husband, I have looked on most census forms to no avail. Her name was Rose Robinson, I have asked a few of my living relatives who can remember her but still no luck. I hope someone may be able to give me some suggestions where to go from here. Regards Sheila

Hi Sheila and welcome to the GR message boards.
Do you know which part of the country Rose was from and when she was born?

If she was your auntie you must know the names of her siblings? Any info will help us to find her.

Hello Margee
I do not know how many children she had, because she left this country before I was born. I am still trying to pursue this question from my relatives.

No idea why it would have been put on your threads, Sheila. Suggest you contact GR about it. Nothing the other Sheila can do.
