Family History Beginners Board / SS Virginian 1909
« on: Thursday 08 February 18 10:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone, my grandfather was one of Britain's thousands of youngsters from poorer families emigrated out to Canada in the early 20th Century. He travelled from England (Liverpool) on the SS
Virginian on the 2nd April 1909.


Does anyone know what this crossing was like? Weather conditions etc.
A tough ask I know....but no harm in asking. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. :)

Thanks

Thanks Luzzu, it's important for me to know that for my ongoing M/C searches. I'm very grateful for everyones participation in helping me with the query.

Thanks very much, that's very helpful. When I went to The M/C Council burial records it gave an option for either burial or cremation searches, or "both". As I chose the "both" option I assumed those records had been checked also. Great!...I'm back on track. Much obliged to you both. Flowed  :D

Lancashire / Finding Agnes King of Wythenshawe
« on: Monday 16 April 12 05:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi everybody
It's been a while since I posted anything but I'm having such trouble finding the final resting place of Agnes King who died at Withington Hospital, Manchester, in 1959 (April I think) that I wondered if anyone can help me? I've checked Manchester City Council's burial lists with no joy so far, but I'm sure she must be there somewhere. Agnes was the wife of William King of Wythenshawe/Northenden. Agnes was 60 when she died I think. Here's hoping that someone out there can give me a clue. Very many thanks in advance.  :)

Hi, recently I posted a query looking for info about a John Bentley who was on the stage around 1935. Somebody replied saying that John Bentley (actor) was on the radio in 1935. If that person is reading this...I'm wondering how you knew this person was on the radio? I'd be grateful to find out the source of the information so that I can follow it up. Many thanks.

Lancashire / Help from a theatre buff needed!

 :) Hi everyone, I'm trying to find evidence of a person who seems to have been on the stage in some capacity but we don't know whether this was as an actor, comedian etc.The person I'm looking for is either John Larkin (born 1870ish) or John Bentley (born 1885ish). My mother remembers seeing him in a newspaper article when she was about 5 years old (in 1935) and remembers that this person was related to her. She was living in Manchester at that time. She is keen to find out more about him. If anyone knows anything about him it would be great to hear from you. Thanks heaps.

HI....If I wasn't living in another country I'd be there in a heartbeat. Some of my relatives rest in that cemetery. GO Mancunians! You can do this!

Hi again...WOW that was quick! Great to get that website...thanks very much. Albert was born 1901, Richard 1904. I don't know anything else about them though. I'm just about to log off as I am writing this at work and have just finished my shift. Unfortunately no computer at home so may be a day or two before I can log on again. Please don't be put off by the longer-than-usual silence; I WILL be back! Thanks heaps for your help. P.s My dad's side of the family hail from Gorton!
