Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Bursledon Brickworks, Swanwick
« on: Friday 22 July 11 14:30 BST (UK)  »
hello,
I'm a volunteer at Bursledon Brickworks Industrial Museum. If anyone has access to 1901 census I'd be grateful if you would look up the Brickworks in the address search and let me know if there's a list of workers. It's listed as 232 (schedule) Brickyard (house) Swanwick Lane (street) Sarisbury(civil parish) Fareham(Reg district) Hampshire.

Back then the brickworks was thriving and we have managed to find the names of some workers in 1911 but they seem to be more elusive in 1901. Nowadays the brickworks is managed and run by volunteers and we've recently started a heritage project to try and identify the workforce as we have very few records.

Please help us if you can. If your ancestor worked at the brickworks we'd love to meet you!
Thanks

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Mary Alice Williams in Nanaimo?

Thanks to all concerned for the amazing help I've received with this family. I now know that Mary Alice's husband Thomas and  2 or possibly 3 of his brothers went to Canada - I've found them all  in the Cumberland cemetery however I can't find 1 of them on the passenger lists and wondered if anyone has any ideas where I can look next.

Thomas Edward Williams and wife Mary Alice - all OK  -  Jacqui posted links to original passenger list pages

John Samuel Williams 31 May 1907 Virginian 005-004 T-490 - how do I get to original page?

Cadwaladr Williams 14 August 1925 Montcalm RG76  1925 volume 10 T -14718 - I'm hoping the original page will show his wife Lily May and any children and maybe another brother who I can't  trace

Herbert Pryce Williams born 1895 Wrexham, Wales  - found him in 1911 Wales census

Also where do I find the UK incoming passenger lists as I believe at least 2 of them went home to visit - I'd like to know when. I've tried Google but just go around in circles!

Any guidance will be much appreciated
Thanks

Thank you Ricky.
This could well be the right family - certainly the 2 sons ages match and the address sounds familiar so there may be other families in my tree living nearby in 1901. Obviously I'd missed them because of the father's place of birth.
Your help is much appreciated
Best wishes

Hello

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to find this family in either 1891 or 1901 census possibly living in Brymbo/Broughton area of Wrexham:

John Williams born about 1864 Wrexham
Mary Ann Williams (wife) born ? Wales possibly Wrexham area. Married in 1884 - I think
Thomas Edward Williams born 8.8.1885 Lodge Brymbo Wrexham
John Samuel Wiliams born 22.4.1887

many thanks

Clio

Jacquie - apologies for misspelling your name! I was just replying to you. I spotted Cumberland on the passenger lists so presumed it was in Canada - just about to look it up. Research in Canada is very new to me as you've probably guessed so I don't know yet just what resources are available.

Debbie - where did you find the death records for Cumberland? I'm thinking that the births will be registered there too? I'd love to find out the names of the other children if possible.

Many thanks both for your support.

Best wishes

Thank you so much Jacqui and Debbie.

This time yesterday I didn't know where to start looking and now I have so much information to go on. From what I've seen so far you have both found the family I'm looking for. I had no idea Mary Alice had a son and Cumberland never came up in the conversations I've had with the family.


Thanks again

Clio

Canada Lookup Request / Mary Alice Williams in Nanaimo?
« on: Saturday 20 June 09 22:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction please. I'm looking for Mary Alice Williams and her husband Thomas Edward Williams. Mary Alice was born in Wales in 1887. She married in Wales in February 1910 and arrived in Quebec in May 1910.

I believe they settled in Nanaimo. I think I have found Mary Alice on the Nanaimo FHS passenger list - she arrived at Quebec on 7th May 1910 on Virginian. I couldn't find Thomas but maybe he left earlier?

I have a photograph of Mary Alice who was known as Polly with 3 daughters but there are no names or dates. I do know that her brother Gershom Matthias went out to visit Mary Alice in Canada and as I can't find him in the UK 1911 census I wondered if he was included in the Canadian census?

Thanks
Clio
