The Common Room / Where was he born?

« on: Thursday 25 October 12 23:16 BST (UK) »

Looking for the birth place of Daniel Wigmore. Was it Ireland or England?

Just found that he married Margaret Myres 1799 in Wexford, Ireland. And would like to know what year he came to Canada. Think Daniel and his sons moved to Canada sometime before 1817.
They had two sons that I know of, William b.1802 Limerick, Ireland and Robert baptized 1807 Limerick.

In 1831 he was living in Dummer twp., Peterborough Co. Ontario, Canada.
Have no birth for Daniel, death year 1838.

Thanks

Looking for any info on Wilfred Bateman and family here in Canada. He was b. 1884 England. Wilfred married Clara Isabel Robinson September 14, 1908 Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
I did find them on the 1916 census living in Taber, Alberta with two children; Fred b. March 15, 1909 New Aberdeen, Nova Scotia and Annie Isabel b. 1913 Taber, Alberta. Wilfred's occupation at the time was a miner.
Would like to find where they went from there.
Clara Robinson family was living there in Taber in 1916, parents John George and Isabella Robinson. Have lost them after 1916.

Durham Lookup Requests / 1841 to 1871 census, Robinson

« on: Thursday 03 February 11 03:35 GMT (UK) »

Hi,

I am trying to find John Robinson b. 1822 Hamsterley, Bishop Auckland, Durham on the 1841-1887 census. I know he is on the 1881 census with his family. They are:
wife, Jane b. about 1837 Newcastle
son, John George b. 1862 Helmington Row
son, Thomas b. about 1870 Rough Lea
son William b. about 1872 Rough Lea
son Ralph b. about 1877/1878 Crook

At the time of the 1881 census their place of dwelling was: Victoria St. Crook & Billy Row, Durham.
Was there a 1831 census?
Hoping the earlier census might show the parents of John Robinson.

« on: Sunday 10 October 10 20:42 BST (UK) »

I'm looking for any olds pictures or portraits of our Yorkshire Bott Families.
They were born in Flixton and Folkton area. This Bott family goes back to Stephen Bott born about 1784 and Ann Coates born 1792. Their children:
Tamar, William, Robert, Thomas, George, John, Alice and Ann.
I believe a lot of the family is buried at Folkton.

Thank you

United States of America / Help Please, birth record for Jacob Simpson b. 1798

« on: Thursday 01 July 10 18:17 BST (UK) »

Would a kind person help me find the birth record for Jacob Simpson born about 1798 in N.Y. state. Can't seem to find the right birth place for him. Jacob has put down in the census place of birth U.S, Nova Scotia and Canada. On His marriage record to second wife he has Cambridge, Massachusettes.
Now you know why I'm having a hard time trying find his birth place and date of birth.
His parents are William and Rebecca Simpson. Jacob and a brother said to be born in the N.Y. William born in the 1750's N.C. Have not found that one either.
