Title: Missing Home Child Alice Keats bn 1898 in Ipswich
Post by: littlesis 76 on Sunday 19 March 17 21:19 GMT (UK)
HI I have moved this over to here as I have now discovered my missing little girl was a home child.
Her name is Alice Keats bn 1898 in Ipswich England,she went to Canada in 1914 with her brother William.Edward Tricker (Alice was illegimate)
I can find lots on Edward as he was KOA in 1917 but nothing on Alice past the passenger list.
I will post the link to my previous posts
Any help most appreciated

She is listed here on a Board of Guardians list :

Alice Keats 1914 , 15 , Ipswich , Dr Barnardos , Date of First Inspection May 14 , Dates of Re-inspection Nov 16 and Aug 17. In the margin under Remarks it says married.

That's good, so it looks as if after a sad start to life, she may have had a much better life in Canada.

Thank you for finding that for me.Lovely to hear she married .
With that time frame it might make it easier to find her marriage and all little more on her life.
Thanks again

Since the record Christine53 found indicates only 1 inspection was required, and apparently recorded, I wonder if the later date of 17 Aug 1918 might possibly be her date of marriage? It hasn't helped me to find a record yet but thought I'd put the suggestion out as 'food for thought'.

I have spent a long time tonight trying to find a marriage  on FindMyPast anc and family search but nothing am afraid I am not very good when it comes to researching outside UK
Did find 3 newspaper articles dated 1900,1902 and 1904 all regarding child neglect.There father received prison sentences every time the last one was 14 months. But he is still in trouble over next few years.
Fingers crossed Alice had a better life ,would love to be able to contact any living relatives that may have known her
Title: Re: Missing Home Child
Post by: polarbear on Monday 20 March 17 23:45 GMT (UK)
She is certainly very well hidden. It seems reasonable to expect that she married in Ontario but there just doesn't seem to be anything showing up so far (I believe an Ontario record should be on Ancestry and familysearch). You do have her name out there now and perhaps a rellie will find your posts about her (and her brother).

Thank you for all your kind replies,yesterday I contacted a niece and nephew (from different siblings) and neither knew these 2 children exsisted or each other !.A very broken family it seems.
I have tried the 1921 census just putting in 1st  name, birth England and arrival 1914,as well as trying the same for marriage in 1917/18 and also deaths using her d/o/b but the chances of her knowing it I would imagine are very slim.
Problem is I am a real novice at the Canadian records and really thought they would be the same as the English BMD have not realised it if very different.
Will keep looking and trying new sites.
Thanks again

I have come back to have another try at looking for Alice as she can't just disappear on me !
I have research her mothers family and 3 of her sisters and 1 brother all emigrated to Canada all to the Saskatchewan region.
As her brother put his mothers name as next of kin and address on his ww1 records,I believe these children still had contact with the family.
Myself and several others (on different site) have looked for the marriage of Alice in possibly 1918 and have drawn a blank I think now it may be likely that Alice joined all her Aunts and Uncles (or wishful thinking) in Saskatchewan.
I was wondering if any one knows any way of accesses records from this area as I am struggling with what I can find ?
Thank you

I haven't ,I did find the death of one who I think was the one who is most likely to know Alice as she didn't emigrate until 1911 and she was Mary Ann Ellen Keates married to Charles "Abraham" Burman.She died in 1952 and I found her death on family search.
I will look through those links now Thank you

Post by: littlesis 76 on Tuesday 03 October 17 11:58 BST (UK)
The siblings of Alice's mother that I am sure emigrated are
Mary Ann Ellen (Nellie Kates/Keates married Charles Abraham Burman emigrated 1911 she died 12 Aug 1952 in Coquitlam,British Columbia
Lucy  Kates/Keates born 1877 died I think 12 Dec 1926 (from ancestry tree) she married a Charles Abraham Creamer or Cramer and emigrated before 1899 so unlikely she knew Alice
Violetta Victora Kates/Keates born 1897 and married Samuel Moffatt she died 1952 in Regina ,Saskatchewan but was the same age as Alice so again was unlikely to know her well
Robert Charles Kates/Keates born 1890 am not sure when he emigrated but it was after 1906 I think.
I have took some info from trees on Ancestry but have checked on family search and the info given seems correct.
The one who I am interested in is Mary Ann she only had the one daughter Hilda May and she did know Alice (have seen her name in newspaper reports about the child neglect Alice and her siblings suffered)
Do you think its very unlikely Alice would of travelled to be with her aunts or is it one of the reasons I cannot find her marriage as Saskatchewan records are still being recorded online.
I cannot find her death as without a surname from her marriage its impossible

Post by: littlesis 76 on Tuesday 03 October 17 12:25 BST (UK)
Oh wow ,thank you for that.It would of been great if it was her niece that was the informant but Alice likes to hide !.
Her daughter Hilda died in 1957 and I think her father was still alive then.I cannot find a marriage of the sisters Lucy or Violetta either but I assumed in was because Saskatchewan records are still being put online.
Do you think there is a chance Alice went to be with her aunts rather than stay in Ontario or that's unlikely ? was hoping she did and it was explain why I cannot find a marriage.
I am sure she didn't marry in Ontario in Aug 18 and I have been through hundreds of marriages just using Alice and no surname there is not one that matches remotely.

The Canadian deaths records certainly give you a lot more information than the UK ones.
I noticed you had Lucy on the 1921 census,I think I may have searched them before but I have look for Alice for a long time so am not exact what I have search.
Is it possible to look on the census using her 1st name ,yr olf birth and immigration date because if I could do this and it narrowed it down to a few ,I could then look for the persons death and see if any have her dob correct if that makes any sense ?

Looked at a few Alice who could have been possible but nothing materialised. One Alice Neil born 1898 England. Immigrated 1914 and married to William Neil - living in North Battleford Saskatchewan I couldn't find at a later date to prove or disprove her.

Hi,

Found an article in the Baldur Gazette News, Aug 16, 1997.  There is an entire page about the Cramer/Creamer history... and a huge family reunion in 1997.  There is mention of Charles Abraham Creamer..born 1876.  Married Lucy Kates in 1896 and had 10 children.  He settled in Swift Current Saskatchewan, and later moved to Burnaby BC.   It says "some of his descendants have been found".  Daughter L Bleakley and her daughters G and D were at the reunion.   There are lots of names in this article of people who are researching the family history.  Perhaps someone mentioned here can tell you more about the 10 children.

If you have a sub to FindMyPast (or can get it free from your library), you can find the newspaper.

Honestly cannot thank you enough for all your time finding these records

Alice's sibling William Edward Tricker who died WW1 in 1917, his service file will be digitized in
the coming months (presently on surname R). It is slow process, so many months no doubt, and
we can hope that they stayed in contact and she is mentioned in his file (assigned pay perhaps).... fingers crossed.
When it is completed there will be a PDF file attached.

A 1918 marriage would not be released yet, there is a 100 years privacy law in Canada.

Sandra

Will the records now be available to look at as we think the marriage has now past the 100 yr rule ?
Title: Re: Missing Home Child
Post by: manawakian on Monday 12 November 18 23:29 GMT (UK)
In western Canada there is no 100 year rule, check these free sites:

Manitoba http://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php

Saskatchewan https://www.ehealthsask.ca/residents/marriages/Pages/Order-a-Marriage-Certificate.aspx

Alberta http://provincialarchives.alberta.ca/how-to/find-birth-marriage-death-records/Default.aspx

British Columbia http://search-collections.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/Genealogy

Manitoba has an 80 year marriage rule, the other 3 have a 75 year rule.  Manitoba marriages are easy to find on their site and they only charge $12 for a certificate available to anyone, but their service is a disgrace in the opinion of this Manitoban.  They take three months to deliver after an order has been placed.  Saskatchewan makes Manitoba look like a genealogist paradise, they have no online index, they are very expensive & they are very restrictive as to who can obtain info.  Alberta has a quirky browsable index of marriages, which requires a good deal of patience to search, but then are low cost and speedy in service.  British Columbia has by far the best system since their easy to search index leads to actual images of the document at no cost.  Every province in Canada should follow BC's example, except for their 120 year rule re births.

Thank you for the links ,i have searched them all apart from saskatchewan where i think you have to know the marriage in order to apply for cert ,I don't know where and when.
 I believe it was between 1916 and 18 but will keep looking
On the postive side I wrote a post on William (her brother) on fb and had a lot of interest from family members from her English relatives so maybe one will.do.a dna test and could find her relatives that way

Hi littlesis 76,

I have found that it is very challenging to research vital statistics in Saskatchewan.  The online database was started but has not been updated in a number of years.  It is very expensive to purchase certificates (I believe $50) and they do not contain much information compared to what you would find in other provinces.  I have the Saskatchewan marriage and death certificates for my parents.

Susan
