Northumberland / Re: George Swan - 1829-1872 - Woodhorn / North Seaton

Hi,

Sorry, I don't have much information about the Swan family after 1871 as I come from one of the daughters sides (becoming Anderson). On my 1871 census I have a 12yo Alexander Swan but I'm not sure if this is your relative.

Essex / Re: Harridges to Ceylon
« on: Tuesday 24 May 11 08:59 BST (UK)  »
Hi Kushfer,

I'm married to one of Iris' grand daughters. Living in Sydney, Australia.

I've been trying to find the Harridge trail from the UK to Ceylon. Do you have any info on this?

The info I have is that Edgar Clarence and Mary Ann Ludowyke had:

Iris
Victor St Alban
Carl
Melville
Noel
Gordon
Noble Love
Joyce
Dorris


on your side - Joyce married Charlie Tennekoon and they had six kids of which I have names (but will leave out of this forum for privacy as they're living)

Essex / Harridges to Ceylon
« on: Tuesday 16 November 10 21:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm trying to track down some information regarding a Harridge travelling from Essex (Canvey Island area I think) to Ceylon in the early 1800s I believe. I have some sketchy information about a Peter Harridge belonging to the 19th Regiment Light Dragoons and being stationed in Ceylon in 1812 but this is unconfirmed.

There is alot of information regarding Crisp M Harridge and family but I'm not sure if the person I'm looking for is releated somehow.

Essentially I'm looking for the ancestors of W(illiam?) Harridge (married Emma in Ceylon) who then had Edgar Clarence Harridge. Edgar's daughter Iris was then born in 1914.

I do have contacts in Sri Lanka but still it's proving difficult to make a match.

Hope someone can help.

Nathan.

West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Ann Terrace, Grangepans, Bo'ness
« on: Tuesday 24 August 10 12:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

I've got some ancestors who lived in Ann Terrace, Grangepans (or Bridgeness), Bo'ness in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I have found very few references to this location now and I assume it was swallowed up by an industrial estate or similar?

Does anyone know this street and if it still exists today?

Many thanks,

Nathan.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Marriage Lookup - Nellie Anderson and Harry Striethorst
« on: Wednesday 21 July 10 04:42 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for that. Yes, she was listed as living in Northumberland, UK on the 1911 census (as "Ellen"). She first married as Nellie, then Eleanor. She was known to my family as Nellie.

So, they missed the 1911 Canada census and then all the kids (except Nellie) came to Australia on the Makura 10th March 1916.

I'm going nuts trying to find the shipping record. She had 7 brothers and sisters, inluding a twin brother George.


The shipping record I've found is Ellen Anderson and kids (all except Nellie) travelling from Liverpool to Quebec on the "Empress of Ireland" arriving 13th May 1912. It states that the mother Ellen was travelling "to husband" - destination Nanaimo. The kids are:

Phillip
George
Mary
Joseph
Violet
Alexander
Lilian

George and Nellie, and Alex and Violet were twins.

So my issue is how did Nellie get to Canada between 1911 and 1914 when she married? It appears as though her father George travelled prior to 1911 as he's not listed on the 1911 UK Census.

I know for a fact they settled in Nanaimo. The father and the boys were coal miners.
