Canada Lookup Requests Completed / Re: ROXBOROUGHs in Atlin, B.C.- completed
« on: Wednesday 23 May 12 04:33 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I am a granddaughter of Olive's and I live not too far from BMC. .....a boat ride across the lake and down the river.

My mother is still alive(Olive's daughter)..she was instrumental in forming the Atlin Historical Society and spent many years cataloging and preserving local history here. She has a fair bit of knowledge of the BMC and Partridges but you likely have more pieces than we may have.

But in saying that...we certainly would be interested in what you have? and will gladly pass along what we have. I don't think we have any information on Olive's family in England though?
Olive and Robert had a total of 13 children ....my preference would be to correspond via email with the info exchange if that is okay with you?
Thank-you!

My great grandfather was John Roxborough,  great great was also named John. My great grandfather did come to Canada in the early 1900's but I have no records relating to James spelt with an x other than 2 marriages listed in Aghadowey Parish 1 in  in 1855 to Eliza Callaghen and then again  another listing with James and Eliza with a  marriage date in 1862. I was wondering if James may be related   somehow related to my family?

Yes it is impressive don't you think? Are you researching Roxborough's as well?

Suffolk / Re: Marie Rose Thrower BD approx. 1886

I'm thinking that 1886 BD would be correct and this is probably her.......her death certificate lists her as being 53 years old when she died......Aug. 7, 1940

Thanks Charlotte,
I'm new at this so do I just google the freebmd site......?
I'm uncertain if she was married when she left England or not .-my father thought his oldest brother was a half brother so it is possible there was another marriage..........she married  my grandfather (Roy Smith)..... again not sure where......if it was in the United States or in Canada. He was born in New Mexico so we do not know if they immigrated from the USA together or if they met in Canada and married here or not and we have no info on him either. Roy and Rose died within weeks of each other when their children were young teenagers so details are real sketchy.

Rose ( my grandmother) was born in Suffolk approx. 1886 and she died in 1940 Edmonton, Alberta Can. I am looking for her correct BD, immigration info to Canada and any family information that may be available? Anything at all would be helpful.

Oh my! "persecution" yet - this is interesting!.......
The McMaths have done a lot of work on their tree and Mom used to be in touch with "Cousin Sarah" quite a lot over the years but they are both getting on in years - we are not sure but we  think Sarah is still alive.
We have no photos or mementos from Ireland  that I'm aware of so would love to see anything that you may have.
I'm looking forward to moving to the email stage.

This is so awesome! Are you a Roxborough descendant as well? My grandfather married Olive Grace Simpson....born Leicestershire, England and had 13 children, many grandchildren and now we are into the great grandchildren. My mother (Norah) is still alive although she is getting up in years. Many of her siblings have passed on though.

I am a granddaughter of Robert Alexander Roxborough of Atlin, BC. My mother has been doing family tree for a number of years now and of course had difficulty accessing info on those still living in Ireland.
I'm just new at this site but I have a lot of information in Family Tree Maker  on the Roxboroughs in Canada that you may be interested in and I certainly would be interested in what you may have.
