I'm trying to find info on the emigration of an aunt & uncle who went to Canada (state unknown) after their marriage in Galashiels in 1920.

Hi there,

Can you post a little bit more about the information that you are looking for?  Are you looking for their marriage cert and their families in Roxburghshire?  Or are you looking for info in Canada?

The more info that you post, the more likely it is that someone will be able to help you.

Cheers,
Clare

I've traced their marriage cert on line as having taken place in Galashiels on 31.12.1919, and know that they had emigrated to Canada by 1930 & then had 2 children (my cousins).   It's the latter I'd really like to trace, but without knowing when their parents actually arrived in Canada or which State they settled in, prospects seem a bit bleak.  Colin

Hi Colin,

Why don't you try posting on the Emigrants board to see if anyone there has any suggestions - http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,136.0.html?

THere is also an MSN group called Scots In Canada which I have found to be useful in the past - http://groups.msn.com/ScotsInCanada

Good luck with your search.

Cheers,
