Hello Tracytats

I have looked at Dalbeth Convent censuses up to 1911 and have prints.  What is the name of the lady you are searching for.  I will look for you. 

It is 12 years since I first posted on Rootschat for Dalbeth.  I still have not traced my man Peter Cairns (hubby's grandad) but I live in hopes.  It would be great if I could help you.

Bye for now

Canada / Lilian Hodgson born Leeds 9.12.1912 - illegitimate. Father unknown.
« on: Tuesday 07 May 19 19:30 BST (UK)  »
This girl was my late mother's half sister.   She was supposedly taken to Canada around age 2, with a couple who were emigrating,  as her mother (my maternal grandmother) could not care for her.   WW1 was underway in 1914. Were children really shipped overseas then.

We have only recently learned of the birth of this child who was the second illegitimate daughter.  The first was raised within the family but not with her mother.

I have a copy of the birth entry which I managed to find without much trouble.

Assuming that the story of the child's emigration to Canada is correct is it at all possible to find her and what happened to her.  It is possible that she was adopted by the couple before she left England.  But I wonder is it possible that someone out in Canada had a mother or grandmother born in England on the date I show above.

A long shot I know.  There is always the possibility that her going to Canada was just made up by the family when in actual fact she just went into care here.

Hello Chris

Could it be that the father is called William Hoggin Craigardeen.    I have looked for a place name Craigardeen and there is nothing on a modern map near Libberton.

Could be that the person writing the birth entry did not know how to spell the name.  It is also possible that the man himself did not know how to spell it so guesswork all round.

I assume that your name Hogue is a surname.   Spellings can change over the centuries.

Good luck with your research.

Hello Scotty

Somewhere in my collection of papers and old family photos is one of a family who I think is Annie nee Halliday who became Scott.   She had a definite resemblance to her brother George Halliday who was my maternal grandfather.   This is why I was keen to identify the family.  It is a while since I started my enquiries and to be honest over the past 3+ years my attention has been given to the living. 
However it would be nice to know what happened to Grandfather's siblings and descendants.  I will look for this photo and send it as an attachment.

Cheers for now

Hello

I would go for 1920/30s.   I am sorting through old family photos of that period and the clothes look the same.

A couple of miles max from Richmond Hill I would say.

I have a copy of a 1906   map of the area.  Let me know if you want anything looking up.

I have managed to get on the internet to do a 1911 census check  and it seems as if the address is 7 New Lane, Meadow Lane, Holbeck, Leeds and it is a Church Army Home/Hostel.   Not there any more owing to redevelopment of that area.

Thanks to all who posted replies but please what does the abbreviation OP stand for.

Cheers
Kathy
