William & Hannah Laxton getting to Canada?

[Lilygirl]

Hi there,

Am hoping to locate a William and wife Hannah LAXTON going to or in Canada.
Have heard they may have ended up in Ontario but not sure on that.
Possible Bourke Falls??? but only hear say at this stage.

I only know that Hannah was born 1835ish in St Ives, Huntingdon, England  (Hannah RYDER) and married William LAXTON in 1856 St Ives Huntingdon.

They were in Linconshire in 1861 census so must have gone after that.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Lilygirl.

Hi,
Thanks for that.
Is there any death info for Hannah LAXTON before Williams?

[J.J.]

SURE this is a mistranscription as surname Saxton in 1881 / Armour & Ryerson, Muskoka
William  age 47 b. Eng.  occ. Farmer
Hannah  age 46 b. Eng. 
Rebeca  age 21  b. Eng.
Ather age 17 b. Eng. occ. Farmer 
George age 12 b. Eng.   
Albert  age 9 b. Ont. 
Ernest age 3 b. Ont.

Clara is in Hamilton with the COUNSELL family
Can't see John William Ryder Laxton born 1856
 

and here they are in 1901...The actual image for Wm & Hannah says they immigrated in 1871

Hi there,

Yeah I saw some posts he left and emailed but joy oh joy it bounced which is really disappointing but I guess it was a while back.
Will have to make a post to the site and hope he checks back at some stage.

Thanks for the info you posted I'll have a good look at it soon
