Barrass Family 1911 Census lookup Request
« on: Monday 07 January 08 15:09 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for the following family. I know they emigrated from England to Canada in 1910.

Robert Barrass (1862)
Dorothy Barrass (1865)
Cuthbert Barrass (1887)
George Barrass (1889)
Robert Barrass (1891)
Florence Barrass (1894)

I think that Cuthbert may have got married by the time of the 1911 census to Sarah Thompson, but unfortunately i have no details on her. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Browny

You can search 1911 and 1901 Canadian census free online at www.automatedgenealogy.com

P.S. most Canadian records arrange by Province and information available, both online and off, varies greatly.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

They did indeed immigrate 1910 according to the image, and the fellows are all occupation "miners"  ( see split view for image details) J.J.
