Miller Family

[Natalie Rosendal]

Looking for information for parents of Gilbert and Margaret Miller. Married 18 June 1903 @ Winlaton, England.
Gilbert b.1879
Margaret (Wearmouth) b. 1881
Child: Norman Miller 1909-1980 (my paternal grandfather)

Hi was Gilbert born Winlaton Durham ? as there is a Gilbert from there with father Gilbert Mother Mary Ann ...were they still in the same area in 1911

[rosie17]

Is this the same family that went to Canada Gilbert first in 1909 and Margaret and Norman in 1910 as I am not seeing them in the 1911 census in England ...I assume I have the correct marriage Gilbert Miller and Margaret Jane Wearmouth 1903 Gateshead Durham

[Natalie Rosendal]

rosie17, yes they did come to Canada!  Do you have any other information on Gilbert and Margaret's parents?  Thank you so much!

There are some public trees on ancestry that have Margaret Jane Wearmouth marrying Thomas Forsyth, the other name on the page on FreeBMD. However I can't find a couple with these names in Durham in 1911 nor can I find a Thomas Forsyth* married to a Hannah in 1911 that have been married 8 years, only one couple but married 17 years and in Northumberland.
Births for a Margaret Wearmouth in England and Wales 1879 - 1882 brings up only one with the middle initial J or middle name Jane and that is in Hexham Northumberland Dec 1/4 1880.
Margaret made a trip to England in 1928 and has lost a couple of years off her age.
Margaret J Miller
Age - 46 born about 1882
Departed 29 Jun 1928 Liverpool, England
Destination port - Quebec, Canada
Ship - Doric
