Find Ancestors

Hello Pippa Can you look up the name Fennisman in Canada please. My grandmother was married to a Fennisman ( Muriel Body) from Devonport in 1917 and as far as I know she went to Canada for a time with him they had a daughter. Regards Angela

Pippa Would be interested to know if you can find British home child ELLEN ELIZABETH BATCHELOR.Aged 12/13. She was in the Brantford or Stratford area on a farm we beleive. Shirley

Hi Pippa I would be very grateful if you could look on the 1911 Census for Horace Henry Kerley, who was born in 1881 at Southampton, Hants. He was living in Canada by 1911. He may have been living in British Columbia, because it seems that he died there in 1950. Many thanks, Jane

Hi Pippa, Could you please see if you could find a GEORGE STANLEY HARRISON born c1889 in Northampton, England on the 1911 census please i think he should be in Toronto as that is where he married in 1912. He sometimes used Stanley as his first name. Any help would be appreciated. thanks kaz

Hi Barry, Couldn't find any marriages at all for an Albert Bromley. I thought it might be an idea to look at the births for children of Albert Edwin Bromley, as this would tell us the name of Alberts wife. Two results came up: Name Birth Date Gender Birth County Father's Name Mother's Name Thomas Vincent Bromley, 24 Nov 1895, Male, York, Albert Edwin Bromley, Alice Woodward Remington Booth Rimmington Bromley, 23 Apr 1898, Male, York, Albert Edwin Bromley, Alice Woodward Rimmington If you'd like the images of the births, PM me your email addy and i'll send them over.

I appreciate you looking Pippa. All the best Danielle

Thanks for looking anyway, Pippa. Sarah

Hi Maud, There were no Charles Herds on the census, but there was a Charles Heard: Birthplace: Ontario Tribal: English Province: Ontario District: Peterborough West Sub-District: Smith Household Members: Name Birth Year Charles Heard, Birth Date: Sept 1871, Ontario Thueseipa (sp?) Heard bNov 1872, Ontario Francis Cephas Heard b.Feb 1897, Ontario Charles Heard b.May, 1908, Ontario May Heard b.May 1899, Ontario Ella Heard b.April 1901, Ontario Laura Heard b.March 1903, Ontario Jessie Heard b.Feb 1905 Ontario Couldn't look for this Charles birth as the records on Ancestry only go up to 1907, so i looked for his siblings. Found Francis in 1897 and Ella's in 1901. Father on both is Charles F Head, but the mother is listed on one as Euretta Carr and the other Annie R Carr. There was one other Charles Heard on the census living in Qu Appelle, Saskatchewan - born 1900, England, Mother Amelia. If you'd like any of the images of the above, PM me your email addy and i'l send it all over to you. Pippa :0)

Thank you Pippa, Kate x

Hi Danielle, Looked for both of the families you asked for but unfortunately i couldn't find them. With the Lemnack's, there are alot of pages in Winnipeg that are so faint you can't make out the names, only their ages and birthplace of Austria, so ti could well be that unluckily your Lemnacks are there! Sorry i couldn't help Pippa :0)

Hi Sarah, Looked for your Agnes Royston on the 1911c, but couldn't find anything on there, sorry. Pippa :0)

Hi Kate, Looked for both William and Alfred on the 1911, but couldn't find any entries for them, sorry. Pippa :0)

Hi Pippa, I winder if you can help me. I am searching for the birth of my mother`s cousin, who I think may have been born in Ontario, I am not sure about his surname I never saw it written, only heard it in 1948 when he came on a visit, but it sounded like Herd -Charles Herd or could be spelled Heard, I do not know who his mother was, but am hoping that if I can find his birth I can then find his mother. If he was born before or in 1907 (he may have been, he looked to my eyes in 1948 to be of age with my mother) He would also then be on the 1911 census, if its not asking too much, could you look for me, thank you. Maud

Hi Pippa I am desperate!!! I dread to think of the hours I have spent searching the 1911 on the Canadian Library site, and found nothing, yet I know they are there somewhere would appreciate if you could take a look for me. The 2 families I am after are: Family #1 Peter and Anna GRUND (both born in Temesvar in Romania/Hungary) They arrived in Regina Saskatchewan in 1904. Peter was born 1868 and Anna c1875. Their children's names were Max, Anna, Peter, Eva and George. Family #2 George and Anna Lemnack (aka Lamneck and Laennek) George was b. 1871 in Austria, Anna b.c 1878 Austria. They lived in Winnipeg for a few years (up until about 1912) before moving to Regina Saskatchewan. They had 2 children Rudolph (aka Rudie) and Josephine. Both born in Austria c 1897. Thank you Danielle

Hi Pippa, Thanks for offering to help. Here's a tricky one for you. I have Agnes Royston b1884 Leeds, Yorkshire According to family legend she 'went to Canada to be a nun'. Don't know when or where or what her religious name or order was. I have a photo of her though. Thanks Sarah Australia

Hi Pippa, Thanks very much for looking - back to the drawing board I think. Have a lovely day Lucinda

Hi Pippa, can you please look for William Fraser/Frazer b.c.1868 and his brother Alfred Fraser/Frazer b.c 1870 maybe born Norwood or even London. They were both in Barnardos home in London 1881 and i cant find them after that. Thanks Kate

Hi Liz, Searched for the McCallums in the index and by the address you gave, but unfortunately i couldn't find them, sorry. Pippa :0)

Hi Pippa, Thank you very much. Anyway, it all helps to solve the puzzle, maybe they went later than I was led to believe. Best wishes Amanda
