« on: Sunday 06 December 15 14:47 GMT (UK) »

Hi
I am looking for any information on Fanny Rose Smith (nee Dewson). She was born in Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England in 1854. I think she emigrated sometime after 1901.Her son Cecil Thomas joined the Canadian overseas expeditionary force in Feb. 1917. According to the attestation paper Cecil was a farmer and they lived in Umphrey P.O. Saskatchewan. His brothers, Harry Lawson Smith and Frank Maxwell Smith also emigrated to Canada. They are also on the 1921 census. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Other Countries / George Walter Austin

« on: Sunday 17 March 13 17:53 GMT (UK) »

I am looking for information regarding George Walter Austin.
He was born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire on the 28.06.1881. He was married to Alice and had a son , Richard.
I have traced them going to Buenos Aries on the 01.02.1919. He was going to work on the railway.
Unfortunately he was killed in an accident but supposedly saved someone's life. I believe this happened in 1928 as Alice and Richard returned to England on the 28.09.1928.
Any ideas of how to find out what happened?

Canada / William Harty Curtis and Annie Grace Webb

« on: Sunday 31 July 11 13:53 BST (UK) »

Still looking for any descendants of the above.

William was born Lowestoft, Suffolk, England in 1884 and Annie was born in Bow, London, England in 1891. William's 2 brothers - Percy and Leonard, also emigrated to Canada and served in WW1.

I know they were married in Toronto on the 21st January 1915.

I know that William died in Florida in 1957 and Annie died in Miami, Florida in 1984.

I cannot trace them on the US census in 1930 or Florida census in 1935 so can only assume they were still in Canada.

Any information greatly appreciated.

United States of America / William Harty Curtis and Annie Grace Webb

« on: Saturday 30 July 11 16:49 BST (UK) »

Hi

I am looking for any descendants of William Harty Curtis and Annie Grace Webb.

William was born in Lowestoft, Suffolk, England in 1884 and emigrated to Toronto, Canada on the 28.06.1906. In Toronto he married Annie Grace Webb on the 21.07.1915. Annie was born in Bow, London, England on the 30.10.1891.

William died in Pinellas Co. Florida in 1957 and is buried in Royal Palm South Cemetery in St Petersburg, Florida. Annie, probably known as Grace, died on the 28.10.1984 in Dade County, Florida.
She is also buried in Royal Palm South Cemetery.

I think they may have had a daughter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - I have tried to find obituaries for them in the hope that it may give children etc but up to now have been unsuccessful.
