Osmond UK to Canada
« on: Sunday 17 June 07 11:06 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I am searching for info on the family of Henry Avis Osmond born Uckfield, Sussex, UK and his children
Henry Died 27 Dec 1894 in London, Middx, Ontario

Henry's children were:

Sarah Jane Osmond born 1867 Tunbridge Wells, Kent UK
Henry Edward Osmond born 1870 Tunbridge Wells, Kent UK
Mary Louisa Osmond born 1873 Tunbridge Wells, Kent UK
Charles William Osmond born 1877 Tunbridge Wells, Kent UK
Edwin Arthur Osmond born 1875 Tunbridge Wells, Kent UK

They emmigrated to Canada around 1882 and seem to have settled in London, Middlesex, Ontario and them some seem to have moved to Red Deer,Alberta

They all married and had children, so there should be some Osmond's about today!!

Any links / info would be great, I also have our Osmond's going back to the 1700's so can swap info.

(Info also on England, Kent, UK Message Board)

Hi David,

Here's a start:

Marriage:  Sarah Osmond (b 1868) to Horace George Holdom, born Hastings, England in about 1869, son of William Holdom and  Elizabeth Meritt - 10 Sep 1904 in Middlesex, Ontario.

Marriage:  Edward Osmond (b 1870) to Margaret Lowry, born Cornwall Caw, born about 1866, daughter of Martin Lowry &  Mary Jane Reaney - 24 Sep 1895 in Middlesex, Ontario.

Marriage:  Louise Mary Osmond (b 1873) to Peter William Murray, born Oxford, Ontario about 1862, son of Donald Murray & Elizabeth McKay - 30 Oct 1895 in Middlesex, Ontario.

I will keep looking for other info.  Do you have any information from here as I won't go looking for census if you have it (or other information)

Hi Nancy,

Thanks, for the info.... as it goes I have what you have given me, but it has been deleted by the Moderator due to copy_right? I also have Henry's Death and the Osmond's on the 1901 & 1911 Canadian Census

I didn't add it here as I didn't want a slapped wrist....!!

But now you have added it, it may interest others who maybe looking for their Osmond's.

I hope there are living Osmond's that can make a connection... fingers crossed


I appreciate your time and effort and thank you very much

Best wishes
