Hi,
I've just discovered that my gt. grandmother Louisa Conquest, born 1842, Kempston, Bedfordshire, went to Canada, arriving in Montreal on 12 June 1908. I have found her on the 1911 Canada census, living with son Henry James, born 1875, Lambeth, and Katharine, born 1883, Camberwell.
She must have come back to England some time after 1911 census, as I have found her arriving back in Montreal on 19 October 1912.
Is there any way of finding out when she died, and also what might have happened to Henry and Katharine? In 1911 they were both single, Louisa a widow (her husband William died in December 1908).
Thanks, Ann

Jorose,
Thank you for that link, what a great directory. I think I've found Henry as a painter decorator in it. Still wish I could find out about gt grandmother Louisa, but that's obviously more difficult.

There was a great resource for tracking people in Quebec - the Drouin records. Unfortunately they are no longer available via ancestry - a legal dispute over rights to the records. Perhaps that will be resolved in the near future and they will be back online.
I know I have come across a pay site that also has some of these records indexed and available but have not been able to find it again. Will keep trying.

Mount Royal is a large cemetery in Montreal. You can use their free service to find if Louisa is buried there.

Hello,
Read on this board today that the Drouin records are now on Ancestry - so I had a look, and am delighted to say that I have found Louisa's death and burial - how great is that! She lived to a good age, 85, died 5 November 1927.
Thanks for all help, Ann
