Marriage lookup PLEASE if possible
« on: Tuesday 05 February 08 06:57 GMT (UK) »
Am looking for a marriage of William Gillespie Beattie ?
I do not know the other person.**
**Extra to above:- Latest bit of info is that her name was Vivien ???
Do know that he came to Canada in 1927 then age 7
Lived in Niagara Falls Ontario
Believe that it may be around 1945-47

Any help appreciated

Hi Baldy

Marriages in Ontario are not public after 1924, therefore you would have to order directly from the Province and be entitled to the same.

Having said that, you could try searching www.canada411.ca there are 6 Beattie families living in Niagara Falls, Ontario or www.ontarioobits.com

Karen
Gandley (but known as Stanley in Canada)- Ireland to Birmingham<br />Ball, Kempson & Franklin - Birmingham<br />Shorter - Surrey<br />Dyer - Devon<br />Dawkins - Co. Cork, Ireland<br />Heffernan - Ireland
Huck - Alsace, France
Reinhart - Baden, Germany
Bowman & Ellis - England
Etheridge - Gloucestershire

Who all came to Canada in a little row boat, clap clap, clap your hands!!

Hi Karen.
Thank you for that fine information.
It does make it a little difficult when they do not release some details .
It would make it a lot easier "if" they could even give you the record numbers,so as to get the  certificate for the correct person.
I actually do have the details about his burial (cremation) & resting place (in Fairview Cemetery.N.F)

Will now have to follow up on the address's.

Again thank you for your trouble

I am not sure how Catherine Beattie relates to the original post but I found the following on Ancestry.com  which may or may not be her.

Boston Passenger Lists 1820 - 1943

Name:  Catherine Beattie
Arrival Date:  August 20, 1912
Age: 23
Ethnic: Scottish
Port of Departure:  Glasgow
Port of Arrival Boston, M. A.
Ship:  Parisian
Last Residence:  Scotland
Birth:  Aberdeen Scottland
Occupation:  Servant
Next of kin :  Mother 1 Stephen Place, 556 George Street, Aberdeen

No census records as she arrived in 1912 and apparently died in 1918.
No marriage record
Nothing else...

Checked for Catherine Doig:

New York  Passenger Lists 1820 - 1957


Catherine Doig
Arrival : October 1, 1916
Age: 27
Port of Departure: Liverpool
Port of Arrival:  New York
Ship:  Philadelphia
Last Residence:  Aberdeen
Occupation:  Wife
Next of kin :  Mother and Grandmother, Mr. Beattie, 67 Richmond St. Aberdeen

Travelling with son Andrew age 3 and daughter Helen age 2 "claim born in U.S."

The 1920 Census shows no appropriate Catherin Doig although there should be one according to the 1930 Census which lists:

Thomas G. Doig age 40,  Andrew Doig son 15, Helen Doig daughter age 15, Catherine J. Doig age 12. Jane Doig (Thomas mother) age 77, Andrew Doig (Thomas  brother) age 53,)

It would appear that Catherine Sr. possibly died during or shortly after childbirth of Catherine J. Doig age 12

If you think this is the right family please pm me and I will give you all the census details for 1930.   ;D  It's a lot of typing for what possibly might not be the right family.

Also Ancestry has a Public Tree with Catherin Beattie in it showing that she married Thomas Gray Doig in 1912...although no source given.  It also states she died in Brookline, Massachuettes in 1918 which fits in with what you have although I don't think there was a source for that either.

Hope this is the right family....let me know please.

To avoid duplication for rootschatters re: William Gillespie Beattie,  although the marriage wasn't found we do tend to look for anything we can find.

Hi All
Regarding my request for information on Catherine.

I have received today another notation about her--
The information received is as follows:-   
"Sorry,the information that I gave is  not the same Catherine Beattie."

Therefore what I posted is now not relevant

Thought that we may have been on a winner ??

Please accept my thanks for all that have given information
