[merilyn64todhunter]

Any info on this family from Gavarghy? Samuel NELSON born 1866 (abt) and Susan CREIGHTON born 10 November 1872 possibly in Enoch. Susan emigrated to Canada later in life, to join a son there. Family buried in Gavarghy church yard. I have Samuels father as James born abt 1872 and her father as Robert, Married to Mary Jane Wilson.
thanks

Info I have to date.

Susan Creighton - b. 10 Nov 1872  - Parents - Robert Creighton & Mary Wilson

Married - 31 Mar 1897 to Samuel Nelson (Fedney)  b. 25 Feb 1866 - d. 24 Nov 1918

Children - Elizabeth  b. 14 Mar 1899
             - Robert James  b. 3 May 1903
             - Mary  b. 13 May 1904
             - Samuel  b. 12 Aug 1906

The 1911 census records 4 children born - 4 children living.
I've found a record that would suggest that there was a fifth.
Mary Jane - b. 8 Feb 1898 (Fedney) to Samuel Nelson and Susan Nelson (Creighton)
                  d. 6 Mar 1898 (Fedney) - Age 5 weeks  -  Samuel Nelson - Father present at death

Info. I'm seeking

Death / Emigration / Marriage records for - Elizabeth, Mary and Samuel.

Death / Emigration records for - Susan

I've seen reports that Susan in later years went to Canada, to a son  -  Presumably Samuel as
Robert James remained on the Fedney farm until his death in the 1970's.

How can I prove this?   What is the best way trace people who have emigrated? 

All info and suggestions gratefully received

I think you are into the difficult patch so it will be GRONI Belfast see this website or use Belfast forum search for guidance as to how to use usefully as credit searching mounts up

For Emigration or travel see findmypast migration http://search.findmypast.co.uk/results/united-kingdom-records-in-travel-and-migration?firstname=susan&lastname=nelson

in case you get more interested in going backwards, I did notice on Ros Davies Co Down website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/N/Nelson.htm

I found Susan's son Samuel going to Canada:
30 Mar.1924 "Metagama" arrived St. John New Brunswick from Belfast Northern Ireland, Samuel Nelson, age 18, single, [can't quite read occupation]. born Banbridge, Church of England, going to settle permanently, to uncle W. Creighton 125 Bayswater Avenue Ottawa, mother Mrs Nelson Fedney Garvaghy Banbridge.
The outward passenger record of him leaving the U.K. gives occupation as mechanic and address as 10 Pandora St. Belfast.

Added- found Susan's brother William Creighton in Ottawa if you are interested
