I'm looking for any information on Thomas b.c 1790 and Frances (Fanny) his wife b.1795 from Cornwall who must have left there between 1837 and 1841 and went to PEI with their family.
One 'son ' David, possibly' died Nov.1842 aged 11 Charlottetown.
Other family members could be Moses b.1837., Nathaniel b.1835., James b.1834., Jane 1828., Frances b.1826.,Mary b.1824., Thomas b. 1822., William b.1819 all Born Jacobstow Cornwall England.
The older children may not have gone to PEI with parents.
Any information would be most appreciated, thank you.

Oh! my goodness, thank you so very much Crisane and Sandra for all the information and the links and so quickly too, bless you both.
I wasn't absolutely sure I had the right family in PEI, had checked in some trees on 'A' but I knew there was some incorrect information in them.
As I had been unable to find evidence of when the family actually went to Canada it left me wondering if I was on right track. Now I know I was so thank you both again.

You're very welcome. Pleased to have helped. The 1901 census for Moses gave 1841 as an immigration year.
