Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Emigrated to US or Canada
« on: Saturday 03 December 16 05:33 GMT (UK)  »
I have a ancestor that may have emigrated to the US or Canada between 1841 and 1849 but I can't find him on any lists. His name is William Beckwith born 1814 Halstead Essex England, last seen on the 1841 uk census. Someone who appears to be him appears on the 1851, 1861 and1871 Canada census and the 1880 United States census and 1892 New York State census, with his wife Miriam. I would like to connect the 2 Williams but census's don't show birth place in uk, if I could find him on a passenger list between 1841 and 1849, when I think he married, that should confirm.  Thanks.

The Lighter Side / Creepy goings on.
« on: Thursday 20 October 16 06:43 BST (UK)  »
There's a person on another site that has most of the names from my fathers side of my family in their tree. The tree is private so I can't see it but the names go from present back to the 1700's. I have contacted the person but they are not very forth coming with information. Their family name has no connection as far as I can see with mine and the only information that I can find about this person is their marriage in the 1990's. I have found a birth that may fit but in that they appear to take the mothers maiden name so I am assuming that she was unmarried. I have been trying for weeks to find the hidden link but nothing. It's getting a bit spooky.
