Yeah, exactly, china... I was trying to find seminary's anywhere  eastern  and I think more Lutheran & Anglican came up in ont., so that was going to be my question today, did he keep his faith, or did that go out the door with the surname? Ontario has lots of fishing lakes, I guess, but nothing seemed to come up for both seminary & fishing...

The seminary of ST. SULPICE was a well known fishing area...so just for fun I google mapped it and it still thrives on...
so I tried "seminary" Quebec while I was in there, and still only that one came up...
The funny thing is, all the ones I saw yesterday in Ontario came up and many of them surround the western shore of lake Ontario...Just thought it was odd that almost a dozen came up for Ontario and only one in Que...unless others did not thrive...
Reading a little about  the Quebec one reminded me of local so called "priests" who were more greedy landowners than saints...Somehow they got poor farmers and hunters to sign over large pieces of property to the church with their huge "X"...in wills handwritten by the same priests...go figure...

Angry If I thought I was giving up my regular life to become someone representative of the faith, and then saw all that greed...I'd have high-tailed it out of there myself....

Wink Quite the rotter to go and pop off without giving up a surname tho...


Just tried "SEMINARY  montreal" and lots come up...which is rather odd... Roll Eyes

Search of 1911 British census shows Mary Eulalia b. 1907 living in Birkenhead Cheshire as is Charles William Thompson.  Have you checked this record to see what is recorded as his place of birth?

Hi everyone thankyou for your thoughts and searches on this it's much appreciated!

We do have him in 1911  his birth place is listed as Monheal Canada, which we've presumed to be montreal.

He kept his faith as far as we know and St Sulpice Seminary did cross our minds but there is a lot to choose from he would have been there in 1887 ish.

I think ontario is a red herring, unfortunatley my cousins away at the moment so I can't get hold of her to check details again!

Here are all the Eulalia in 1891...Nothing jumped out at me, but perhaps you might find a Rosa in a household as well, which still wouldn't prove anything... There are very few Charles William in Que or Ontario, but then you believe he was gone by then anyway....

the spelling as Eulalie...is another story...they number in the seven hundreds!!!

Actually when you take out all the Catholic seminaries in Longueuil, (as "Near" Montreal) there are actually very few located in Montreal...You do have a search on your hands, though, with no surname...
Did you have him anywhere in 1901?
did he first name parents on a marriage cert? I imagine he used Thompson as a surname?

 Thankyou for your replies.

This was meant to be the easy part of her grandfathers life... where he was born.......obviously not!!   Grin

 Her grandfather was Charles William..... b.1872 ish in Montraul Canada, ran away from a seminary when he was about 15yrs old, and went to sea. On arrival in Liverpool U.K in abt 1902 he changed his surname to Thompson or so the family was told. He said he would reveal his true name before he died unfortunatley he had a fatal heartattack and hadn't told anybody his name!

 He named his daughters Eulalia and Rosa, we think this was after his mother or sisters.

  She did say she thought it was a fishing village....which probably doesn't help!

Thankyou all again and I will now go and have a look at the links!

Kate

I believe your Charles William Thompson is my grandfather; perhaps we are related.

It would be good to get in touch with you.

Joan.
