Morning everyone, Does anyone have access to World Ancestry please and would mind doing me a quick favour? Two Emily Wasons are listed under Immigration and Emigration for border crossings from Canada to US 1895 - 1956 but I can't see the additional information such as year, location, date of birth and ship name as I don't subscribe to worldwide. I'd be really grateful if someone would be able to look that up for me please. Many thanks. Nicky

Have you got their birth dates or dates of arrival ? there are about 17 Emily Watsons on list.
If you can give any more information, i'll look again.

Thanks for that Mike, but her name was Emily Wason, not Watson and I believe there were only two records of that name on the Ancestry Immigration listings. All I know is that she was born in 1879 in Glastonbury in Somerset. She was on the 1891 UK census, but had disappeared by the 1901, so hoping to find that she had emigrated during that time. Many thanks.

Thanks for that Mike, although it looks as if one would be too young and the other too old to be the Emily Wason I am looking for - thanks anyway. Nicky
