Searching for Arthur and Ethel Jane Hurleston. COMPLETE MANY THANKS

[Joyce C]

Hello

My distant cousin, Ethel Jane Roberts married Arthur Hurleston, Birkenhead 28th May 1901. After then I cannot find them anywhere but I have found a Son, Arthur Edward Hurleston, born Birkenhead 1902 in the Family Search site as follows:-

Arrival Niagra Falls, New York date of 4th Dec 1930 of an Arthur E Hurleston with father Arthur bn abt 1912, Birkenhead     Manifests of Alien Arrivals at Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Rochester, New York, 1902-1954  (Family Search).

Arthur E Hurleston age 18yrs arriving Niagara Falls 1920, New York. Manifests of Passengers Arriving in the St. Albans, VT, District through Canadian Pacific and Atlantic Ports, 1895-1954

I have not seen these manifests at all bit I wonder if they might give any clues to the whereabouts of Arthur and Ethel Jane and if perhaps they emigrated to the United States. I haven't found them on Findmypast as leaving the UK.

Any thoughts or ideas as to what happened to Ethel Jane and Arthur would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi Bob,

Have sent a message to a friend in Canada who may be able to help you further. If she can find anything further she will reply here, hope thats okay.  Perhaps she can suggest other avenues for you  The 1921 Canadian Census is due out next year.

Hi
I am Sandra's friend in Canada and I have found a bit of info and will give you some sites that you can followup on.

It appears that possibly 2 brothers or at least relatives came to Welland Ontario within a few years of each other, Alfred and John Henry.

http://automatedgenealogy.com
you can look at transcribed as well as original documents
has
1911/Ontario/Welland/Pelham
Hurliston, Alfred, b. 1877, age 34
Hurliston, Ethel, b. 1875, age 35
Hurliston, Arthur, b. June 1902, age 8
all are listed as Methodist
immigration is 1907

The child that Sandra found born 26 June 1909, Welland, doesn't show up on the census so must assume that the baby died. I haven't been able to find a death though.

The other family in Welland is
Herlston, Henry
Herlston, Elizabeth
Herlston, Margaret
Herlston, Emily
all born England
Herlston, Anne, b. Ontario

went to Family Search to look for birth of Annie
Annie Hurleston
1 December 1906, Welland, Ontario
father - Henry Hurlestan, mother - Elizabeth Weston

Went to Ancestry to see what I could find and there are family trees showing Annie and also John Henry Hurleston. If you can contact the owner of the tree, you may find more information.

Must admit, I searched through a lot of information and I did find a marriage for Annie so I will go back and see if I can find it again. I found it beofre I made a definite connection between the 2 families.

Went to Free BMD

Lincoln and Welland are not that far from each other and are close to Niagara Falls and the border to the USA. Port Colborne, Ontario is also not far from this area. When you do a search on the online telephone directory for Canada, the closest name I could come up with is Hurlston.
There is A. Hurlston in Port Colborne that you may want to contact to see if info can be provided.

The libraries in Welland and Lincoln may also be able to give you some assistance. They will have access to newspapers and you can use the last date for the voters list as a starting point to look for an obituary. The libraries almost always have an "Ask A Librarian" section or at least a contact us section. They will have access to newspapers, old telephone driectories, etc. that could help in your search.

I did check military records, OCFA burial information, Legion Last Post, etc and didn't come up with anything.

I will keep looking for information.
