Isabella Chalmers from Scotland to Canada in 1916

[sage]

Hi All

Thank you so much for all your fabulous input.  I found the 1930 & 1940 censuses for Thos Annis and 'Christiana' and they had a daug according to the 1930 census but she's not present on the 1940 census.  Her name is recorded in 1930 as Kathaline Annis aged 7, birthplace New York. 
Can anyone see what became of this child?

And I am curious to know where Mama Isabella Roy (nee Paterson) is throughout all these mismatched marriages? 

Thanks again everyone and I'll enjoy checking this all out. 

Sage.

Hi,

You're welcome 

A possible, there is a death for Agnes Helmer March 25, 1942 Detroit, Michigan, age 38,
b. Scotland, parents Matthew Ray and Isabella McEwen. So, Mama Patterson may have
remarried.

Thanks DB,

Another complication with the name McEwan!  Having researched the family back in Scotland I'm pretty certain the name McEwan has cropped up here because Isabella was born illegitimate to her mother, Agnes Paterson and Agnes then spent her life with George McEwan.

The more we find about this family the sadder it becomes.

Just wondering if anyone can pinpoint Isabella Roy (nee Paterson, sometimes McEwan!) in 1920 U.S. or 1921 Canada census.  I know she was in Detroit as early as 1918 per the death of her son Robt Chalmers in WWI but I haven't pinpointed her on a census after her arrival in Sault Ste Marie in Aug 1916 which would have been too late for the census of that year.

Rosie said she was found in border crossings from Canada to the U.S. in 1920 and 1922 and I wondered if perhaps she was on the 1921 Canadian census taken 1st June.

I haven't found her in the U.S. in 1920 or 1930 and given the daughters married so very young I'm beginning to think that maybe Isabella died quite young and the daughters had to fend for themselves.  If anyone can give me a lead it would be very much appreciated.

With thanks, Sage

Hi Sage,

Mama Patterson is elusive and so is Kathaline Annis.

The 1916 Canadian census was only for Western Canada (Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan).

On her border crossing July 18, 1922 that rosie found, she was asked ever in the USA
before, yes, between April 1921 to July 9, 1922. I think she slipped through the cracks, too early
for the 1921 Canadian census, and too late for the 1920 USA census.

Cheers,
DB

Yes she seems to be hiding well

Hi Sage,

I think that the 1930 census for the Crullo's from family search isn't correct. Looking at the
original census there is another family living at the same address, transcribed as Lapreese,
but looks like Lapresse to me.
Lapreese, Eugene, age 28, b. Massachusetts, proprietor restaurant
Lapreese, Mary, age 21, b. Massachusetts
Lapreese, Eugene, age 8 months, b. Michigan

There is a death of Mary Lapreese, December 6, 1930 in Detroit Michigan, age 21
parents Isabelle McEwan and Mathew Roy.

Most definitely rosie, but now with the second reference to McEwan, perhaps a remarriage
or perhaps she decided to revert back to McEwan.
