Hi Donna, could you clarify some facts, please?

You're now asking about Dominic Martin born 1891 whereas all the info on the previous page is about Dominic Martin born c1883.

You're saying they were born Italy but the census suggests otherwise (some say Leeds).

What certificates do you have to verify the information you have so far?

You're also saying that Dominic and Kate travelled together to Canada saying they were cousins. From what I can see, Dominic travelled alone and said he was going to his "cousin" Ms M Sweeney - I thought he'd abandoned Kate?

Also bear in mind that the time frame you mention covers some of the period of WW1 and as such both Dominic and his father (if still alive ) would possibly have been placed in an Internment Camp if they were Italian.

Who did Dominic marry?
Kate Sweeny, or Catherine Sweeney?

please can anybody help with this and direct me which way to go cos i going down a one way street here thanks x

But where is the thread that I helped on.
There was a huge amount of info on that and I want to refresh my memory on what we already know before I search for anything else.

i have the threads on another page can you tell me how to bump them onto this page plskind regards donna

so You actually have the marriage cert for Dominic & Kate/Catherine.

good, what were the witnesses names?
how old was Dom and what does it say his occupation is.
Ditto Kate/Catherine.

Who raised Corlean, and where?kate & Dominic or someone else?
What about the other children, who raised them?

corlean was raised by kate her mother in wakefield cos when corlean got married it says on her marraige certificate that her father was deceased, he wasnt she just cut him out of her life because he went to live with his sister in law all the other children were raised by there mum not there father kate went on to marry a mr dobson not sure if he was called james thanks donna

i remember it saying on the marragie certificate that he was a street organist i not got the certificate to hand but i will find it soon as and i pretty sure it says kate i will get back to you thanks again donna x

miss sweeney came under the name of cathline and shortned it to kate so it could also be catherine i do apologise if i have confused people who are trying to help, i am also trying to bump all past information that lady kira sent to me a while ago onto this page which there is alot of information from that kind lady she did alot of work for me regards donnax
