Hello,
No, Pennines, I was not at all offended by your offer, in fact I thank you. I have printed off the information you gave as to how my niece can proceed. Today , because of the Covid-19 problem we have limited access to the computers here. Things are shutting down and by Monday it will likely be open only for pickups and drop offs. Since I am well into my 8th decade this will be my last day here for awhile since I believe in following the dictates of our health department. Libraries have been completely closed in other provinces.
I am not giving up on Harry and will be back online when we get the green light.
 If Amy Taylor was living in the same neighborhood as her mother, who was her mother?

Bye For Now,
Kumqyat

Hello,
Thanks, but no, do not purchase the marriage certificate. I don't mind paying for things it is just that I am totally unfamiliar with overseas financial transactions.  I will try to get my niece to do that for me. I just found a family history on Ancestry, that has some information on Harry. I plugged in Harry's daughter Kathleen McLaughlin born 25 Feb 1925, Saint John, New Brunswick along with her parent's names. I found a Burger Family History. Kathleen had married a Roy Edison Burger. According to this family history, Emma McLoughlin was born about 1868. She married a Mr McLaughlin at age 18 after 1886. It indicates that harry was born 1 May 1891, Dublin, Ireland. It looks like Amy Taylor, born about 1895 in Worcester, Worcestershire, England was a sibling of Emma's. Huge age difference there.  Why did Harry refer to her as Mrs. Amy Taylor? It also indicates that Daniel McLaughlin was a sibling Emma's father. This could be helpful but I am skeptical. My library has a library edition of Ancestry but you must be at the library to access it.
Thanks again,
Kumquat.

Hello,
 I had been leaning toward Emma Cuthbert and William McLaughlin (tailor) as being Harry's parents. Harry of New Brunswick did not return to England after he returned to Canada from the war. So He did not marry in England in 1926. I have not found Canadian immigration records for Harry. I have not found him in the 1901 or the 1911 census of New Brunswick. I have tracked his New Brunswick records through PANB ( Public Archives of New Brunswick ). I am beginning to think he may have been a runaway child. Why give three different names as next of kin? Also, Harry's daughter Amy was named after Hilda's sister Amy porter.
I have been looking for Harry' parents for over two years.  Thank you so much for your endeavors, time is precious.

Hello,
Thank you for your efforts. It has taken me a while to respond because of yesterday's inclement weather ( strong winds and blowing snow ) here in Halifax. I use the Library's computers. I forgot to mention that Daniel, Harry's brother, was living in Worcester in 1918.
I am pretty sure that Mrs. Amy Taylor was Harry's cousin. This information comes straight from one of Harry's granddaughters. I have seen the 1911 census information on Amy and Daniel Taylor.   Is it possible to find Amy's maiden name?
I have seen the 1901 and 1911 census information for the  Emma McLaughlins, and also the 1921 Canadian census ( Saint John, new Brunswick) for Harry and Hilda.
Harry's wedding certificate thus far has been unavailable. Perhaps lost years ago.
If Harry/Henry was in fact born in 1888 then he would have been about 12 years of age in 1900. I have already checked our Canadian archives to see if he had been a home child. He is not to be found on their list. I have also acquired much information on Hilda Porter and her family. It is Harry's ancestry I am looking for. Harry doesn't seem to have left many footprints. I have also seen  a possible birth date for Emma- 1968.
Once again, thank you so much.https://www.rootschat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/smiley.gif

Dublin / Mclaughlin Family

Hello,
I am seeking information on Harry McLaughlin, born in Dublin, Ireland. I have seen birth dates ranging from 1888 to 1893. Harry was a resident of New Brunswick, Canada 1n 1915. He signed up with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces on 29 July 1915 in Sussex, New Brunswick. He gave his date of birth as 1 May 1888, Dublin, Ireland. His next of kin was listed as Emma McLaughlin, Sackville Street, Dublin. In the before attestation questions Harry gave a Mrs. Amy Taylor ( cousin ) as his next of kin and her address as No. 7 Hions Building, Farrier Street, Worcester, England. After some months under fire in France he was taken to England for medical treatment. He was deemed unfit to return to the war front. In 1918 while still in England, the Manchester area, he gave a Daniel McLaughlin ( brother ) as his next of kin. In December of 1917 He married Hilda Porter of Manchester. Harry was shipped back to Canada 1n 1918 and Hilda arrived in September of 1918 as a War Bride.
Harry died in saint John, New Brunswick 14 July 1957. On the Certificate of Registration of Death his parents names were listed as unknown.
I have not discovered when he first arrived in Canada.
 Thanks
