Hi.
My Husband asked me to Post this Request...
Katherine McKenzie..Nee Cockerill...Born Approx 1902....Sibling Amy Spicer..Nee Cockerill..Born 1900.
Trying to find out what happened to my husbands Great Aunt...
All he knows is that she Emigrated to Canada...
When my Hubby was 13, in 1962, he used to correspond with her and, at that time, she lived in Hamilton, Ontario....No 121 Stapleton Avenue...
He Contacted the Local Library in Hamilton recently only to be told that the Road no longer exists....
He thinks that if he finds the Emigration details then he may be able to work from there and find Katherines Family...
Anyone help please????

Hi Rosie...
Absolutely spot on.....Left Liverpool and landed in Halifax Nova Scotia.....Hubby remembers that she lived in Nova Scotia....
He did not know she was only 9 when she Emigrated...Thanks for the Information.....Now to try and find out what happened thereafter !!!!!
Hubby recalls, in one of Kate`s letter to him that she was involved in a Lumber Mill in Nova Scotia with her sons !!!! Very vague information here.....
Is there any way he can find out about the Marriage to .......McKenzie and any Info on their Siblings ?????

Hi Brenda
This makes interesting reading. http://www.childrenscottagehomes.org.uk/middlemore_emigration_homes.html
It looks as if your husband's aunt was part of the British Home Child where children were sent to Canada supposedly for a better life.
She is also on this list page 43 http://www.bifhsgo.ca/cstm_homeChildren.php?page=43&sortCol=sna&srch=
There is a lot about British Home Children is you google.
If this Kate is your husband's ancestor, how was contact remade as most children were either orphans or children who were separated from their families?

Does that mean Kate had 11 children? If so, presuming this is the correct Katherine, that means zoolane's husband has a lot of cousins in Canada.

Hi Sandra.
Sorry for the delay in reading answers to my Posting but, you know what it is like !!!!
Also forgot where I Posted it !!!!
Anyway, you have Kate`s Father & Mother`s Name correct so, I presume, this is correct also....
Still reading and answering the rest of the Postings....

Hi Jan.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Hubbys Great Aunt was, indeed, a British Home Child....His Grandma told him so and also that his Gran kept in touch with her when she went to Canada...This is how she had her Address when she moved to Hamilton....
Still going through what all have Posted so I`ll get back to you if Hubby remembers anything else OK?
Brenda
-
Hi Jan and Sandra......
Have an apology to make, or should I say Hubby has one !!!!!!
Just re-checking the Info we have on Kate and we find that in the 1911 Census for England that Kate was born in 1905 and NOT 1902.....Sorry ....What more can I say?????
But, some of what has been Posted seems to tie up with what we have ie the sending of young children to Canada to start a new home etc....
But it may mean Re-Researching for a Kate Cockerill b1905 !!!!!....Back to the Drawing Board.....
Hope you both like challenges !!!!! Hope I have not wasted your time...Want to waste some more???
Hubby just off to bed now with a tail between his legs !!!!
I am going to go back to Kates File and re-read what we have and send you any more Info which may be of help tomorrow OK?
Apologies, once again.
Brenda

Hi Brenda
Before we start looking again, it might be an idea to check what we've found against what you know. The age on the census or even the passenger list may not be correct.

Everything points to it being the right child. I wonder whether her father wasn't sure of their ages and just put what he thought was right on the 1911 census?

Or someone else gave the information to the enumerator. ???
Have no doubt we have made the right connection - the 1911 age is an error.

Hi Sandra....
What I have from Hubby and what we have learned is as follows:
Father..Alfred Cockerill...1873-1936
Mother..Kate Annie (Nee Allen) ...1874-1911
Siblings
Annie E 1898
Ada 1899
Amy 1900-1966
Alfred George 1901
Alfred George 1903
Kate 1905
Nellie 1907
Beatrice 1909
Not sure whether this helps !!!
Kate 1905 seems to be the one we are looking at ...
Brenda.
P.S. You are still convinced that Kate was born in 1902 !!!! So why would the 1911 Census say she was born in 1905 ????
I do not doubt your Research but.....What to think.....Did the Census Lie ???? And for what reason ???
Brenda...

It may be that Hubbys other Ancesters may have the Incorrect Ages!!!

Hi Sandra.
Are we sure that this is the Kate Cockerill that my Hubby wants her to be?
Got the Birth date wrong but all you have Researched for me seems to make some kind of sense,,,,But Hubby is still not sure.....1911 Census!!!!....Still seems to be an Iffy !!!
Question>>>Why lie about about your childrens age by 3YEARS????? and no other lie about the others,,Eg..Hubbys Grandma was born in 1900 and her age in the 1911 Census was stated as being 11 !!!!
Question>>>> Is it possible that he wanted to escalate her age so as to be able for her to be eligible to emigrate to Canada?????...This would make more sense to me, do you agree ?
If he lied then what Information you have discovered may be valid....
This is a dilemma.......
Brenda

Hi,
The age on the 1911 is wrong - it is not unusual for an age to be incorrect on a census record. Ages, immigration dates, marriage dates, naturalization dates can all vary - the information is only as good as what the informant knows, it depends who gave the information to the enumerator. The father had lost his wife Kate when that 1911 census information was given, any one could have given information on the family, not necessarily the father. Look at all the other information - A UK BMD record showing Kate born Aston September 1902 (6d 378) - (that covers July/August/September 1902) The baptism record shows birth and baptism dates in August 1902. The immigration record gives her correct age. The marriage record quotes the correct parents. Due to privacy laws in Canada information is usually hard to come by but in your case you have been very fortunate that so much was found. Are you reading the links that we give ? The message board posts of a relative referring to Kathryn Ann Cockerill as his great-grandmother - although the thread was old (2003 if I remember correctly - try and post a message to see if you can make contact with the male poster)
Can't do any more to convince you this is the correct person. Ignore the age on the 1911 census -
Sandra
-

That thought crossed my mind. However as Sandra said he had not long lost his wife and perhaps he didn't really know how old the children were, he'd left that sort of thing to her.
I agree with Sandra, I'm 99.9% sure it is the correct Kate, there are no other records around that show another person it could be. The baptism is the real clue as it gives her DOB and both parent's names. If we always relied on the census being correct as to dates and places of birth, most of us wouldn't have a hope of tracing relatives.

Hi Sandra...
Just read your Posting...
All you and Jan have found out seems to be OK... OK Hubby will forget the 1911 Census...Will go with what you have got ..
As you said, Alfred had lost his wife so he probably not in the right frame of mind.
So, ask another question....If I wanted to find out about Beatrice Cockerill in the Warwickshire lookup...Will I get the same problem..ie..1911 Census????
-
This is the only Beatrice I can see
Beatrice Cockerill
Jul-Aug-Sep 1910
Southam Warwickshire
Volume: 6d Page: 731
But that would make her only a few months old in 1911
I think this is more likely to be her
Births Dec 1906
Cockerill Beatrice Aston 6d 283
-
Personally I believe the error on the 1911 was because they added Alfred George Cockerill twice - if you ignore the second entry and move the others up - that would make Kate 8 years - Nellie 6 years and Beatrice 4 years - Beatrice would then agree with Cockerill Beatrice Aston 6d 283
Sandra
-
That makes perfect sense, Sandra. His wife's death was on the March quarter 1911, so he may still have been very confused.
-
Looking at Birmingham Baptisms - Nellie was born 27 June 1905 and baptised 16 July 1905
Father Alfred Cockerill and Mother mis-transcribed as Hato instead of Kate Cockerill.
That would match the age of 6 years and not 4 years on the 1911.
Sandra
-
A Beatrice M Cockerill married William F Green - March 1926 - Birmingham S - 6d 215
There is a death record for BeatriceMay Green Born 31 August 1906 who died December 1986 Birmingham - aged 80 - Volume 32 Page 177
About 5 birth records that could match Green - Cockerill - 1926/1928/1930/1931/1934

wow, what a great job you all did on this thread...a real goldmine of info found for the poster
Just a reminder how off ages can be in the 1881 census Shresbury Shropshire, my Great Grandfather was 8 years out on his actual age...This would have been a "misguided brain to pen" thing for the enumerator...Maybe he was thinking of what he was going to have for lunch, as the actual numbers were not phonetically similar in any way. Perhaps with such a large group in the home, the numbers being shot at him were confusing ;D But I do thank goodness I already knew about him, and had an obit, as he was also listed as "boy" in the birth registration ::) The obit, did, however have the wrong marriage year for him...hehe so there you go...

Just found this thread a year late sorry, Kathryn Anne Cockerill was the mother-in-law of the brother-in-law of my aunt. I could put zoolane in touch with living relatives in Nova Scotia if she wanted to send me a PM.

Hi MattFM
All this Information matches what my Hubby has on his Great Aunt and he wants me to thank you for your time and effort in finding it for him.
I will be Posting another Lookup Request shortly about Kathryns 2nd husband Kenneth MacKenzie.
See if you can oblige, once again.

Please just continue that query on this thread or it will cause confusion if you make another post about her...We spend so much time duplicating lookups because of repeated queries it really isn't fair.

Hi Brenda, Kathryn MacKenzie (nee Cockerill) was my Grandmother, on my mother's side. My son just completed a school project on her life, as she was a British Home Child.
