Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Look-up Request: Incoming UK Passengers from Canada
« on: Saturday 02 December 17 01:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hello :-)

Please can someone do a look up request for me? It would be very much appreciated.

Its for a mother and daughter coming back to Liverpool from Canada, I think it would be from Montreal.

Ellen Heywood Born in 1900 (?born in lancashire)
Mary Heywood Born in 1923/24 (born in lancashire)

They would have been returning after 1928 and with no husband listed, he passed away a year after they arrived in Canada.

Thank you <3

Lancashire / John R Challoner: Oswaldtwistle/Manchester
« on: Thursday 30 November 17 20:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all,

I'm at a brick wall on my Great Great Grandfather, John R Challoner.

He is very trackable on the census records (1891, 1881 and 1901), but for the life of me I can't find a birth record or a marriage record. I'm doing all this on-line over the pond, so there might be something more locally that I'm missing.

He was born (according to census) in 1853 in Manchester and married Mary (?Bury) who was from Oswaldtwistle. They had quiet the brood of children too! I have a death record that he passed away in 1923.

Anyone come across John, or have two minutes to spare double check that I'm not missing something here?

Cheers xoxo

Durham / Frank Elliott: Gateshead, foundling, Elliott's of Birtley
« on: Friday 03 November 17 20:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hello there,

I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on who would be my 3x great grandfather Frank Elliott.
I have found some information, but it's driving me slight loopy looking for more.

I believe that he was born in 1832, and was a foundling left on the doorstep of the Taylor family in Gateshead. I have found this information on-line and he is linked to the Elliott's of Birtley folk music family. From what I can find he was registered in census' as a Taylor but then reverted to Elliott later creating the Elliott family. I have read he had a tag around his neck when he was found on the door step giving him the name Frank Elliott. He died around 1903, married a lady called Margaret (?surname) and his son Lancelot was my 2x great grandfather.

There is some family rumour/mystery that he was the illegitimate son of a Lord of the North East of England too, I'm very curious as to if this is true.

Thanks in advance,
GinLover.  ;)
