James Mason
« on: Saturday 18 June 16 11:12 BST (UK) »
Good Morning,

I am trying to locate a James Mason, born 1873 Quarry Bank, Staffordshire (father Henry -  mother Sarah Ann) who I believe emigrated to Canada sometime after the 1891 census. May have married there and had three children.  Wife or a daughter named Doris.
Thanks
Robert

This marriage of a Doris Mason , parents James Mason and Jessie Payne looks interesting :

Then this marriage of Reginald Edward George Mason , her brother , gives the same parents and birthplace of James Mason as Staffordshire :

1911 census ( before Doris was born )

I can see the family with Doris in 1921 but I'm not sure I'm allowed to give details as there may be a copyright issue.

I notice that Reginald was born in England in 1903. Looking for a marriage for James Mason and Jessie P Payne I found this one :

James Mason , Jessie Phoebe Payne ( or Sarah Shuter ) , 3 1899 , Stourbridge Worcs. 6c 276

Jas Mason 33  Evangelist from Stafford
Mrs Mason 30 wife
Reginald Mason 3

arrived Quebec on the Victorian Sep 1906 from Liverpool , destination Calgary

As they are from Staffordshire and have a daughter in 1916, Doris , I'm hopeful this is the right family.
