Maggie Cameron & Edward Noble marriage

[saraslater]

ok. Thank you. Have been feeling so bad.

Will review everything again after work.

Is there any way to close one of the threads to help rectify the situation?

[*Sandra*]

No problem Sara - you are only finding your feet on here - only so many times a person can say sorry. So pleased we have moved on.  The thread has to remain, they don't get taken down but now they are linked together so that people can see what has gone before.

Hopefully the experts on Canada can help unravel some of the mystery at that end.

Regards

Probably way off,but there's a marriage June 1912 in Ontario for Henry George SMITH and Maggie NOBLE.
She gives her parents as Angus NOBLE and Annie ROSS. Looking them up on the 1901 Scotland census in Nairn,there's no Maggie NOBLE with them but there is a Margaret CAMERON born ~1888 Rafford,Elginshire.

Think this could be the same Maggie Noble ..Possibility she is the daughter of Robina Priest Cameron
Robina Priest Cameron born 1863 Elgin illegitimate daughter of Margaret Cameron

Robina Priest Cameron married a David McNeill 1889 Elgin

There is a record for a Maggie Noble age 23 single ( domestic ) on the border crossings going to a Mrs Floyd A Wooley Buffalo New York November 1909 to be a sick nurse ...She has a daughter Victoria with her age 1 ..She lists a brother Joseph Noble of Simpson Street Nairn Scotland ..Angus and Ann lived in Simpson Street on the 1891 census .....

More questions than answers 

Can't find a death (1891 - 1970) in Moray/Nairn or whole of Scotland for a R*b*na/P/Priest Cameron or McNeil (fuzzy matching) so where did she go that Maggie/Margaret was with the Nobles by 1901 

Not forgetting this Maggie now has a middle initial 'A'

I wonder if, as my grandmother, Maggie didn't know her true past, so just changed the story here and there. Maybe she did it to give her great granddaughters headaches. Ha!

Do you think it's possible that she just made stuff up on documents?

[saraslater]

I'm plugging these into my ancestry tree to see if anything comes up.

It's difficult to work her out to be honest 

She seems to know 'facts' herself although she seems to 'play around' with them.

I would be interested in the quote mentioned on the Canada board...

"In Nov. 1909 there is a border crossing (by train) for a Maggie Noble (aged 23, so 2 yrs older than we are looking for).  She is listed as a domestic worker, living in Toronto, born in Nairn, Scotland, with a relative of brother Joseph Noble, at 3 Simpson St, Nairn, and traveling to a Mrs. Lloyd A Woolley at 112 Herkimer (?) St, Buffalo, New York. Passage paid by a Mrs. McDuffy.  However, she was debarred from entering the USA, as she was labelled a criminal"

Where did they get info. on her being a 'CRIMINAL'...what had she done etc.
