Goulding
« on: Tuesday 08 November 11 11:02 GMT (UK) »
Looking for Goulding family went to Canada from Wales.

I only have the name of one child Iris Evelyn Irene born Aug 1912 British Columbia.
It seems her mother died and she was adopted at the age of 1 in 1913 to Fred and Mary Ridpath in the North West Territory.

Iris died in 1995 and all she knew was that she was adopted and that her parents were from Wales.
Can anyone give me any idea as to how I can begin this search?  I was thinking that maybe she had older siblings, is it possible that she was adopted in the same area as she was born? She grew up as Iris but I think her middle names may have been switched round
Any help would be great
Thanks Tegan
