I am looking for information on my grandfather, and on his brother Archibald Prosper Buckingham.
-
Buckingham, Ernest Silas b 1886 Plymouth, Devon, England
Birth date given as 19 Sep 1886 to Joseph & Ammida
Is this your man?
Archibald Prosper Buckingham Birth year 1884
-
Almost certainly! His mother's name was actually Amanda, and the birthdate we have is September 20. Thank you!
I tried searching on this site but came up blank - I'm new here, so I must have done something wrong.
Ernest Silas Buckingham
Grandfather
Sep 20 1886
July 23 1977
OOPS - sorry - I missed your last line.
Anything on Archibald?
-
Is this your man?
Archibald Prosper Buckingham Birth year 1884
Yes, that's the right year.
-
Rootschat does not hold records.
We help people locate them using other resources.
Pauline.
What particular information are you seeking?
-
I was hoping to find out anything about my great-uncle. He and my grandfather were separated and never saw each other again. They were British Home Children, and organizations connected to that group have nothing on him after he arrived in Canada.
I didn't realize that you don't hold records. Sorry to have bothered you!
-
Stick around.
If there are records to be found, someone on here will find 'em.
We do love a challenge

Here's a start:

The BHC has a few but not Archie http://www.britishhomechildrenregistry.com/Person/search and here https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/immigration/immigration-records/home-children-1869-1930/immigration-records/Pages/immigration-records.aspx
Did you check to see if he died in the UK before he left?
Other's will chime in, be patient.

Hello and a very warm welcome to RootsChat :). As was mentioned earlier, if there is a record to be found someone on here will find it.
From: Dominion Lands Homestead Grants...
An Archibald P Buckingham made an application 23 Dec 1913. Date of Fiat was 29 Dec 1920. 162 acres. Location Section 9 SE, Township 14, Range 3, Meridian 3. District 54, List 327. It doesn't say what town it might be near.
PB
Added: it appears that Meridian 3 is in Saskatchewan.

Good heavens - you kind people must think me the most ungrateful person ever! I haven't been back here since I last posted (June of last year), and coming in today I find all kinds of information! Yes, the Archibald you found is my great-uncle. He apparently lied about his age when he went to the U.S., as in fact he was two years older than my grandfather. It is awfully sad to think that he ended up in Portland, just 312 miles from where Grandpa and most of our family lived.
I wonder if any of his descendants are still in the area. My two brothers both still live in Vancouver and I’m sure they would love to contact any relatives.
The marriage certificate is my parents, and the obituary for my mother Marie is the one I wrote for her.
Thank you so much, Sandra and RunKitty!

Hi,
