This is a message for Sandra who seems so knowledgeable & has had wonderful answers.
I'm searching the Langford family of Edmonton who emigrated from Tryddyn, Flintshire in N Wales & have found loads, more than I expected, but am stuck now on births & deaths for these people.
Edward William Langford emigrated 1st in 1906 & I've found him on passenger lists & wonderful info about the family on the Alberta Homestead Records, living nr Red Deer. I've found 5 children for him but wonder if he had more & who did they marry & when & what children did they have. I found he & his wife moved in later years to live in Edmonton probably because he had brothers & a sister there & maybe some of his own children moved there?? Also found their deaths on an online grave site. Edw lived to be 90 & Ellen his wife to 95, all that hard work homesteading certainly did them good & they lived in a house 18'x14', the size of the family room in my home now!
However I have not had such good results for his siblings who emigrated after him.
His sister Kate [Katherine]married in Wales to a George Roberts, saddler & he emigrated 1st in 1912 & then Kate, sister Hannah, unmarried, later married Bert Hart & had a son Hubert, brother Walter, bricklayer & wife Elizabeth, married in Wales,& brother David Owen, wheelwright & his wife Maggie, also married in Wales, all emigrated together on the Megantic in 1913. I really have not had much luck finding their children & grandchildren. I did however find that David O died 5 years after emigrating to Edmonton, aged 35 & he had a daughter Dillis [Dilys] & a 6 month unnamed son in 1916. Did his wife eventually remarry?? What children & grandchildren did Walter & Elizabeth have? Kate & George Roberts had a son Bryn who died aged 11 1/2 I know that from the family & another son David Ivor, called Ivor.
However I'm stuck now with finding much of what they did after they got to Edmonton.
I'd really appreciate anything you can help me with or direct me to look at myself. I use Ancestry worldwide which is where I've got all my info from, but have not found Family Search any good for Edmonton. Thank you so much. Amberly.
