Minnie Olive Buckle

[Lisa in California]

Have you checked to see if any other Buckle family members came over around 1909?  (And returned to the UK shortly after.)

I do not have access to some passenger lists/border crossings.  Have you looked for her crossing the border into Canada, or sailing from Canada to the UK?

I wonder if there might be a death certificate for little Fred, which might give further information?

Hello Lisa in California - Sorry, slow response to reply 7 but Frederick is marked as "widowed" on 17 Feb 1911 Passenger List.

He is also marked as "widowed" 24 Aug 1911 going from Bermuda to New York on SS Tagas. Fred R Mitchell. Woolen Mercant. Age 35. Nativity:- England. The name and address of relative fron Country from whence came is:- (Brother) Mr Daniel Mitchell. 190 Bishop Street. Montreal. Canada.
Last permanent Address:- Canada. Montreal.  Nationality (Country of Which Citizen/Subject) is Canada.

Have'nt had a look at the Buckle Family but in the post above there is a mention of a brother Daniel in Canada - not sure if this will help with any further searching but will post for information purposes. It may give Lisa some further clues to trace in Canada.
I think this is the family of Frederick REID/READ Mitchell - he was born 23 Feb 1876 Strand. Middlesex and christened 5 May 1878 Westminster. London.

A Canadian Passenger List show Daniel Mitchell and Marie ? 18 Nov 1913 on SS Sicilian - London to Quebec.

Daniel had been in Canada before. - occupation Architect - Going to Montreal. Marie had not been in Canada before.

Daniel had also travelled previously a Border Crossing Canada to USA shows:-
Daniel Mitchell. Feb 1908. Age 28 years. Architect. Going to Paterson. New Jersey. Final destination:- New York. No relations.

Border Crossing 24 March 1915 from Canada to USA. Port of Arrival:- Port of Arrival: Detroit, Michigan, USA. Occupation:- Architect. Lived in Montreal. Wife:- Maria Mitchell. 23/92 Warsily Street ? Montreal. Going to Detroit.

Daniel Mitchell. Age 26. Single. Architect. 16 Aug 1906. Liverpool to New York. SS Teutonic. Had not been in the USA before.

Just out of curiosity, tried to investigate where the Read/Reid middle name came from and it would appear it comes from a much earlier marriage of a Edward Reynolds born 1768 Norwich. UK to Elizabeth Read 18 Feb 1788 Hempnall. Norfolk.

Hi dettori28:  Thank you for all of the help!  (And, thank you for the previous instructions for shrinking links.)

Jayaydee:  Daniel can be found in Montreal in 1914-15.  I checked a few later editions of the directory and did not see him.  I have not checked directories prior to 1914.

Daniel Mitchell was an architect, address 2392 Waverly

Thank you both so much for the information you've found.  It doesn't look like Canada and USA kept outbound passenger lists so I've been looking for Minnie on Ancestry UK Incoming Passenger lists for 1910 but no luck so far. Also haven't found anything for that year for Frederick either.

Thanks again for your help.
