Daniel was born in Glasgow but the family moved to Irvine, Ayrshire before 1911. He married Mary and they had two sons.
I understand they moved to Canada sometime in the 1950/60s.
I wonder if anyone can help confirm the date or location that they moved to?

Canadian Passenger Lists on ancestry cover - 1865 - 1935 - there are no air flights recorded for that later time frame.
Did the children have unusual names ? Any other small detail that could help. ???

Many thanks for your response Sandra.
I have checked Ancestry but as you say only earlier years, nothing as far as I can see for the 1950/60s.
I'm not totally sure of the names of the sons but Daniel & William most likely.
Regards Colin

Such a common surname as well - difficult to know which area of Canada we might be looking at.

Hi,
A ship record in 1934.
Was one of their sons called Francis?

Think OP was saying arrived 1950/1960 - sons names possibly Daniel and William ???
-
He said he wasn't sure of the names.
The address where they are going is in the same area.

Would you like to post details of the passenger list which you think shows the family ???

Don't be silly - you are allowed to transcribe a record - how do others know what you have found if you send pm's ???
Sandra
-
I have had lots deleted, so I only send Pm's.
The record you posted, there is another 2 for them plus another 2 incoming records.
Maggsie

Wow, don't know why I didn't get red-flagged but I posted the probable passenger info in what is now back at reply #8.
PB

yes, I often wonder that, when I see some of the replies.

You are allowed to type out (transcribe) a record which you may find. There is little point in sending a pm - it does not let others know what you have found. What if the information you send is wrong ???
