Karen, In case people miss this, would you mind adding it to our resources child board under Ship Lists - Emigrants to Canada?
I haven't tried it yet, but will soon...! J.J.

Sure JJ, I can do that.
Also, for those people who had men and woman who served in WWI, the passenger lists have the returning solidiers on them, they are in alphabetical order, some are a little hard to read, but they give the next of kin and the address of where they are headed. The military lists seems to be at the back of the lists, so for instance if there are 52 pages, go to the last page and search backwards.

Oh, that is so cool...again...I'm going to add a link to this info to the Canadian Soldiers / Database Links ? I'll just modify the first entry and link to this message perhaps?
There's already 2 pages going, so it might get overlooked otherwise....
Thanks a million....this is going to be so great!!!! J.J.

Hello Debbie,
Well, you know their daughter Alice, (I think) was born in 1875 in Toronto, so if it was me I would backwards from that date. As to which Port, that's hard to say really. I've attached a map for you to see the direct route from Quebec City, PQ and Montreal, PQ to Toronto, Ontario.
Where do you think they may have left from in England? Pehaps the Port of Departure would help narrow things down?
Karen..in a sunny, but cold Ontario

THanks so much for that link, Karen
I had already found my g-gran's sister, Maud Ingram, in the Home Children database a few years back, but to see her name on the ship manifest was really something. Poor little thing was only 15, sent away from her 7 siblings in London to the other side of the world

Oh, Prue...so sorry, I do hope she didn't have too rough a life. Some did have good people they ended up with....Breaks my heart to hear what some had to go through and endure...Such a sad time  J.J.

Thanks for your thoughts, JJ
I don't know what kind of life Maud had in Canada...her brother was a merchant sailor and visited her a couple of times and sent postcards to the other siblings saying she was doing well. We next see Maud in 1920 in New York, servant for a family from Canada. Lose track of her after that in the paperwork, but she married a New Yorker and they ended up going to California. Had two kids, and some grandkids...Maud died in 1986 aged 90, so I guess life got better for her eventually As far as I know, she didn't visit England again though

You wee beaut! I know it was 1870 that my Faireys arrived so am ploughing my way through!!
Do you recall mentioning that I could get Land Records? To whom would I write? I have a likely person to search Baysville/McLean Records but need to tell them where to go - politely!!!
Thankyou again!
Marlene
