Australia NSW to Canada- McKenzie
« on: Wednesday 19 April 06 21:47 BST (UK) »
Hi,
can anyone help please...
My Great Grandfather emmigrated from Australia to Canada after his wife died. I believe that this was somewhere between 1925-1935...
Have tried searching some passenger lists but cant find anything.
I also am lead to believe that he remarried and had more children, but have no info :(
His name is Robert McKenzie. He was living in NSW so probably sailed from Sydney.
Any help would be much appreciated :)

Hi Hannah,

Do you know if he had a middle name or perhaps what year he was born?

Have you checked www.ellisisland.org ?

Hi Karen,
Unfortunatly dont know much about him, I think that my Grandmother was born out of wedlock, so refuses to talk about him and he left when she was very young.
I dont know his DOB but think that its got to be around 1890-1905 as my Grandmother was born around 1923..

Have just looked on the website and  I think that he would have emmigrated to Canada after 1925, so cant get any records on there after this date  :(

Thank you for the advise though..
