Migration to Canada - Ambrose family

[janjim]

Hi jorose,

One thing I forgot to tell you was that Eveline was born around 1890, and I do not know when she migrated to Canada.

http://www.findmypast.com/passengerListPersonSearchStart.action shows her heading to Australia in 1914, I think.
As her brother doesn't seem to have gone to Canada until 1921, I guess she probably only went to Canada later on.

I can see Evelyn Wilkinson heading to Canada in 1959 along with Ernest and Maud, is this where you got your info from?
Do you now have any info on where in Canada the family finally ended up?

jorose,

Thanks for this, the only information I've got is from my Mother who is 98 (amazing memory for her age), she spoke of Evelyn working near Sydney and then went to Canada and got married.
Ernest & Maud lived at White Rock Canada, that was their last known address anyway, and mention was made by my Mother that Evelyn was a Stewardess, mentioned something about Niagara.  I probably need to check with my Mum once again.

Obviously Ernest & Maud must have travelled back and forth to England.    They definitely came to Australia to visit my Grandparents around 1966.

Hi jorose,

Fantastic, got it all together now for the Ambrose family in Canada.  Thank you so much.  Was wondering where Sapperton was.

It looks like it's now part of Surrey in BC, about half an hour drive north of White Rock (which is close to the border with the US).

Yes I see now where it is.     This is great to get all this information.
