Bland to Saskatchewan 1904

[Paul E]

Abraham Lionel Gilpin Bland emigrated to Saskatchewan in 1904.

Martin Bland is trying to find him on a passenger list.
See http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,49589.180/topicseen.html for more detail.

We know that it was in 1904 but my efforts to find him on a passenger list has failed so far.  I would love to know what ship took him and whether he went with his brother Frank.  The embarcation port was probably Liverpool but I am not sure where passengers for Saskatchewan would disembark. I suspect Halifax.

Any ideas on if this information would be out there anywhere?

cheers

Sorry, Paul I will post it here...as there could be 10 other entries with it already and you would have seen those already.

Sorry about the weird link ...My cut hadn't worked so I'd pasted an old link....

Alas, JJ, we learned subsequently that Lionel ('Len') died in the First World War.

Looks like a useful link for other purposes, though!

The National Archives of Canada (NAC) holds immigration
records from 1865 to 1935. 

Unfortunately the records before 1925 are not indexed. To
find a passenger you will need to know an exact date of
arrival.

There is no easy way to search Canadian arrival records for
this unindexed period other than reading microfilm

Ships are on the reel, in order of arrival. You can find the
details at this URL

If you want to order filmed passenger lists (remember they
aren't indexed!), a  list of NAC microfilm numbers for
passenger lists to Canada 1865-1922 can be found at
