Graveyards and Gravestones / Re: Dacre Burial Record or Gravestone
« on: Monday 31 March 14 19:17 BST (UK)  »
Sorry it has taken me a while to respond. Robert was born in 1819 and he passes away in December of 1863. In the 1861 census, he and his family resided in Stainton. His daughter Elizabeth married John Atkinson and they lived at Dalemain mill in 1881. They emigrated to Canada in 1888 after a fire broke out and destroyed the mill they owned in Carlisle. They lived at 24 Aglionby shortly before they came to Canada.
I was in England in 2011, and I made it to Stainton and Dalemain mill, but unfortunately we didn't make it to Dacre. I'm hoping to return to the Cumberland area in 2015.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Graveyards and Gravestones / Dacre Burial Record or Gravestone
« on: Monday 31 March 14 03:56 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to confirm that an ancestor was, in fact, buried at Dacre. Robert Sander died in 1863 in Stainton, and I believe he was buried in St. Andrew Church's cemetery. I was hoping that someone could confirm this for me. Perhaps they reside in that area and can check the records or perhaps they can post a photo of a gravestone. I'd appreciate any help or advice.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: How do I find out if an ancestor was exiled to Canada because of debt?
« on: Sunday 03 March 13 19:35 GMT (UK)  »
An update. I found an article in the Carlisle Patriot that confirms there was a fire at a mill owned by a John Atkinson in 1886. I believe the article was in the paper July 9, 1886. Also, John and his family lived at 26 Aglionby Street Carlisle in the early 1880s. John had milled at Dalemain in 1881 according to the 1881 census.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Confused: Gr. Grandmother maiden name either Wright or MacDougal/MacDougall
« on: Wednesday 08 August 12 05:07 BST (UK)  »
valeriec,

Thank you for trying. Someone was able to find a Lizzie and Margaret Wright arriving in1913. They were recorded as domestics headed for Winnipeg. She must not have known my great grandfather for very long before they married. (she arrived in June and they married in August) Do you think it is possible that she came here to work for him as a domestic/nanny? His first wife died in 1912 leaving 2 small children to care for. Do you know of any way I could find out if she did come to work for him? Maybe a newspaper classified ad? I guess that would be pretty difficult to find.
Anyway, thank you for the help and suggestions. It is greatly appreciated!

What a lovely picture! Thank you for sharing it.

I might start with ordering only one of the certs and see what it says before ordering the 2nd. You may be lucky enough to get what you need from the one; if not, then you could opt for the other one.

I'll let you know if I can think of anything else.

You are right, I'm sure only one certificate is required. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. I will let you know what I find out.

Canada Lookup Request / Canadian Passenger Lookup Request: Lizzie and Maggie Wright *Completed*
« on: Wednesday 08 August 12 02:15 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I'm looking for help with finding my great grandmother and her sister Maggie on a Canadian passenger list. According to the 1916 MB census record, Lizzie and Maggie Wright (or MacDougall) immigrated to Canada in either 1907 or 1913. Here is the link to the census record:

http://www.rootschat.com/links/0pi0/

(They are Lizzie Vipond and Maggie Morgan #27 and #32, respectively)

I would greatly appreciate it if someone would look them up for me. More information: they came from Scotland, more than likely Glasgow. They were probably in their late teens as well. They came to work as domestic servants. Although they give differing immigration dates, I know for a fact that they came here together.

Thanks in advance!!
