Found the marriages of a daughter & son, death of that son....an obituary for his wife "Treva" Millicent Blackburn  was her actual name & she was born Nova Scotia in 1902. She died 1961 while in N.S. ( wow, so young!) https://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Recreation/GANS/HalifaxFuneralHome.html
So one can see that transcription can surely lose information for a generation.  She may be this transcription in 1911 as Tresa.  http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/census11/SplitView.jsp?id=6005

Stanley did die in Florida 1985 as Lisa found! The obit says he worked for Canada post, and names/locations for the children. There are 2 obits for him! He was interred in Nova Scotia. He was remarried to a lady with the same name as a sister-in-law, and I looked for her info but never found it... ran out of time...

Never found anything substantial on Joseph as the name is far too common, and sophie/sophia keywording didn't help, sorry...

please send me your email address by PRIVATE MESSAGE ( the green scroll under my name)  & I will send the images.

Here is your information, scroll down on page...I seem to be having problems with getting spammed as people are adding my email address to their address list when I send them info...also some are not getting the email, so am trying something different...
Your lookups will be posted here so go and look right away as I will want to delete them as soon as I can so as to not load up my service provider with huge files...Please acknowledge that you have seen/copied them!!

Stanley Cockroft and Joseph Shaw

I was surprised to see your inquiry regarding Stanley Cockroft and Joseph Shaw.  I have been researching these people also as Stanley Cockroft is my grandfather.  My grandfather lived in Winnipeg Manitoba.  I know that Joseph was his uncle but we have no information about him. I do know that his sister Martha Ann Cockroft (my ggrandmother) is buried in Winnipeg.

Hi babyblu

Thank you for your reply it was lovely to hear from you about Stanley Cockcroft and Joseph Shaw.

All my details are on ancestry if you have this I can invite you to view my tree?  I've no idea what happened to Joseph Shaw once he arrived in Canada.  There is evidence of him as a passenger on the Bavarian but that is all I can find.  I've been trying to find his whereabouts for such a long time but with no luck.

I do have quite a few details on the Shaw family which I could share with you.

Hi

I think you will have to make an account with ancestry uk but you don't have to subscribe :-\  I'm unsure but you could check ancestry out and see what it says, if you do make an account I can invite you to view my tree.  When you have made 3 or more postings on here (I think that's right) I will be able to give you my email so I can send you details  ;)

Hello Heidi,

Do you not believe the Joseph Shaw in the 1906 census for Saskatchewan is  the person you are searching for? I noticed that Joseph and Sophie had a daughter Ethel.  My father had a cousin named Ethel but the one in the census would be older and I wondered if Ethel might has had a daughter she named Ethel?  I would like to be in touch by email, and I will email you if I can.
