Canada / Ann(ie) STEWART, born Glasgow,Scotland, married Robert GRAY 10 Nov 1906, Toronto
« on: Tuesday 27 November 12 07:15 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find out more about Ann (Annie) STEWART.  She was born 8 May 1882 in Glasgow, Scotland.  She was a daughter of William and Isabella (nee SUTHERLAND).

I think I have her marriage record (via FamilySearch):

name: Robert Gray 
event: Marriage 
event date: 10 Nov 1906 
event place: Toronto, , Ontario, Canada 
age: 34 
estimated birth year: 1872 
father: Robert Gray 
mother: Elizth Richardson 
spouse: Annie Stewart 
spouse's age: 25 
spouse's estimated birth year: 1881 
spouse's father: William Stewart 
spouse's mother: Isabel Sutherland 
registration number: 003744 
film number: 1871549 
digital folder number: 004529293 
image number: 01114 

I have searched the Cnadian census for 1911 and found a Robert GRAY with wife Annie and children Robert and Isabella, but Annie's birth year is given as 1887 (maybe mistranscribed?), but birth month is correct.  So probably(?) her.

I'm quite new to Canadian research and was wondering:

Where would I be able to find Ann's voyage from Scotland, and/or immigration to Canada?

Are birth, marriage and death records available for Toronto?

Also hoping to hear from anyone else who knows about this family.

Many thanks for any help.

Gloucestershire / Thomas HICKS, born 1842, Westwell, Oxon
« on: Thursday 01 November 12 12:28 GMT (UK)  »
Please can anyone help me find what happens to Thomas after the 1901 census?

Born 1842, Westwell, married Mary SHEPHERD, on all census records 1851 to 1910 inculsive (Westwell, Bampton, Compton Abdale, Filkins, Turkdean, Shipton respectively, he was a Coachman and moved about quite a bit, but always Oxon / Glos).  His wife died 1896, on 1901 census he is living in Shipton, Glos with a housekeeper and her son (surname JAMES).

I know that I'm not allowed to ask for help to find him on the 1911 census, so I'm asking for help to find his death.  FreeBMD has no records which look likely.  Seems unlikely that he went abroad, but who knows...

Many thanks for any help.

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Viva Leonore BEALE, born c1895, reg East Ashford - COMPLETED
« on: Friday 26 October 12 06:43 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find out more about Viva Leonore BEALE.  Her birth was registered Q1 1895 in East Ashford.  I do not know her parents' names.  She married John Thomas CRUST in 1913 (reg Q4, West Ashford), her name given as Vivaleo N BEALE.  Viva/Vivaleo and John had (at least) 8 children, including many who are easy to trace (eg Queenie CRUST, Vivalea CRUST, gotta love those unusual names!), but I cannot find a death record for Viva/Vivaleo.  Her husband John died 1973 in Folkestone.   Please can anyone help?

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / 1920 census GADDEN / GODDEN in San Bernardino, California, USA
« on: Thursday 20 September 12 10:32 BST (UK)  »
I have found two relative (both mistranscribed!) on the 1920 US census:

Stewart GADDEN (should be GODDEN) and Gorden GODDEN (should be Gordon)

both on same Sheet:

film number: 1820129 
digital folder number: 4293835 
image number: 00901 
sheet number: 1 

They are 17 and 16 years of age respectively but the relationship for each (on FamilySearch) is given as 'Self'.  I had expected them to be with their mother Edith.

If anyone can provide a transcript or an image that would help me greatly.

Many thanks for any help.

Jonathan
