thanks so much,
now i need to find out when they married, when jeremiah emigrated to Canada, and when the family moved to MA, USA where they finally settled. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks. Diane

On one of the census, it said their year of immigration was 1873 (from Canada to USA) I'll double check that.
Do you have Mary Jane's birth in Aurora? Or know who her parents are?
Karen
-
i have Mary Janes birth in Aurora as 15/12/1840. It would make sense that they moved to Us in 1873. I am really stuck on how as to find the date Jeremiah left Uk. I have him in the england 1851 census, and the 1871 in Canada, but nowhere in the 1861 census. It would also be fantastic if I could obtain a copy of his marriage cert
-
or if is it possible that mary was born in cornwall,
i have a mary jane traplin b 13-4-1841 mullion cornwall,
here parents are richard and mary ann traplin, kali.
-
I've also seen that, but don't think its the one. On all the census's it says she was born in Canada. Also if she was born in England I think there would be a good chance that I'd be able to find the wedding date presuming that was in England too.
-
on the 1880 us census her birthplace is given as eng
could it be possible they either married in england then emigrated or
emigrated and then married in canada, thier marriage i would think was abt. 1854.
-
Ontario Marriage Registrations didn't start until 1858.
Do you have something that says Aurora?
Karen
-
it is possible, i was told Aurora was her birthplace by a lady in US whose huband is her great grandmother. I had originally presumed that Aurora was in US, but have since found Canada
-
sorry getting carried away, my last message should read....Mary Jane is the great grandmother of the husband of the lady in US who informed me she was born in Aurora!! hope you understand!
-
Aurora is in York County, my neighbors mother is a librarian there. :)
What about siblings of Mary?
Karen
-
Is York County - Ontario, sorry my geog's rubbish. I don't think the marriage can be 1854 as Mary would only be 14.plus they had 7 children, first being born 1865 so that would be big gap!! Have no information about Marys family at all
-
sorry! that was meant to read 1864.
-
Yes, it's in York County, Province of Ontario. It's a small town just north of Toronto.
-
1864 would be make sense for the date of marriage, but is it possible to find this out if in Ontario? ?
-
Yes, if it was registered. I'm not having luck on ancestry finding it, but next time I'm at the library I can look at the original indexes for you. I won't be going till Saturday.
Karen

thanks, thats really kind of you. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Diane

a little bit more,
jeremiah b abt. 1837 at hyde eng,
d 28-5-1898 holyoke mas.
he emigrated to canada and then us to work for the :- farr alpaca mills
i got this info from genealogy.com (pickup family forum), there is a relation called karen posting on there looking for contacts. kali.
-
now it seems we are getting somewhere diane,
it seems that he went to the u.s. through canada possibly not even stopping there,
mary jane b 1840 and married jeremiah pickup in w springfield, hampden, m.a.
she died 30-7-1915 in holyoke m.a.
-
thanks for all the info. I'm actually in touch with the Karen you mention. We are trying to prove we have the same Jeremiah so that we cam connect our family trees. I have a feeling I have Jeremiah in the 1870 census in Ontario as head of the family, but am at work at present, so will check when I get home. Thanks again Diane
-
Kali
do you by any chance have a date of the marriage in W Springfield, and know where I can obtain a copy of the cert. I live in england. Thanks Diane
-
i have just found Jeremiah in the 1860 census in Tenessee as Jerry Pickup with his brother George! so maybe he moved from UK to Us and then to Canada and then back to Us
-
Wow, he sure did get around. If he was single then that narrows down his marriage to a 5 year search which is great.
Karen

would it be possible to find how he went from usa to canada, this`woud be between 1860 and 1865?
