Canada / New Brunswick
« on: Monday 12 November 07 14:31 GMT (UK)  »
My Father's family immigrated to Canada on the SS Letitia leaving Glasgow on 31 May 1929 arriving at Quebec on the 9 Jun 1929.On the doc's it gives the final destination as Land Settlement 440 & nothing else.I believe this was in the New Brunswick area. I would love to know exactly where in Canada it was he lived. Can anyone help me?

The family were

John Stirling  45
Jessie            47
Margaret       21
William J        17
Donald          14
Walter           13
David (my dad)11

They returned to Scotland in 1935 due to his mothers ill health. Any help would be appreciated regards,    Walter.
