david little born 1890 scotland
« on: Thursday 09 June 05 04:38 BST (UK) »
hi i am trying to find a david little born  1890 canonbie dumfrieshire scotland  to a mary little.( later beck) any way david shows on the 1891 census for canonbie  but thats it.  in the late 1920's we have family photos of him visiting kendal westmorland (now cumbria)  and also my elderly aunt can remember  "uncle david" takeing her to scotland for a visit ,   we think he had a wife poss named chrissy or christine. and are sure that by 1925 he was living in canada.   there is a possability that he may have used the surname  armstrong    or armstrong-little.   adrian.

How sure are you that David was living in Canada by 1925?  It’s just that in the Immigration Database (Canadian Genealogy Centre), there is a David Little, age 40, Scotland, arriving in 1929.  Coincidence?
If it's too wild of a coincidence, have a look through the site: there is plenty of information on immigration, link suggestions, and searchable databases.
