Frank LYNCH - MB (1932)

[susano]

The 1921 Canada Census is due to be released in 2013 so only a couple of years to go and that should provide some more information and you can determine if Francis Samuel is a sibling and also if there is a different wife.

I think I may have found a death record for Frank Samuel May for Sept. 10, 1920 in Brandon, Manitoba.  That's not to say he couldn't have remarried, fathered a child, and then passed away.  That 1921 census will definitely shed some light on the matter though. 

I haven't been able to find Frank May in the 1881 or 1891 British census, so no luck finding his parents yet.

I think I may have found the marriage record for Frank & Catherine at the Manitoba Vital Stats website.  There's a record for Francis Samuel May and Catherine Czangauricz getting married in Winnipeg on Mar. 6, 1904.  I didn't realize they got married in Canada.  I thought they had immigrated together (and were already married).  It's some interesting timing, if they got married in March and Harold was born in August...hmmmm!

I'm concerned that the info in the 1911 census and the 1916 census have differing details (birth year 1878 vs. 1880 for and immigration year of 1896 vs. 1904).  Makes me even more curious for the 1921 census to come out.

I think I found Frank & Catherine in the 1906 Prairie Census.  He's listed under "T.S" May, but from the scan of the census page, I'm pretty sure it's actually "F.S".  Catherine is listed as his wife, with sons Harold and Alfred.  He's listed as immigrating from England in 1892 and Catherine's listed as immigrating from Austria in 1892 as well.  This makes 3 different immigration dates (in the 1906, 1911, and the 1916 censuses).  How frustrating!

I wouldn't worry too much about the discrepancy in years in the census....there's often a variation in dates which may be due to who was giving the information to the enumerator, etc.  

I also think that many of our ancestors didn't really pay much attention to birth dates, etc.   I know my family didn't....my dad celebrated his birthday on October 1 for 30+ years until he had to get a copy of his birth certificate in the 1940s and discovered his actual birth date was August 1.

Good find....you're really getting lots of great info from that Manitoba Vital Stats site.

Looking back into 1906 link above there is a Robert McKay and wife Lena, daughter Annie listed after Julius
am thinking this may be Karolina as born in Galicia like "Julius" immigration 1892?

Hi JJ – thank you for the links.  I didn’t know how to search for Canadian immigration records (until now).  I think you probably found the right family for Catherine, which is super.  I’m going to have to dig in and go to these sites and see what else I can find. 

I haven’t been able to find much on Frank May, so I’m not sure if he’s related to Stephen May.  If Frank and Catherine were neighbours, that makes for such a cute family story (“he fell for the girl next door”).  I’m going to keep my fingers cross ‘til I find out one way or another.
