Family Search for Samuel Fletcher
« on: Friday 10 June 16 19:53 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Thank you for the reply backs and helpful tips.  I am looking for any info on Samuel's life and (families) in England and in Canada. 

I am new to the community and I am doing research on Samuel Fletcher and his family.  Born August 30, 1812 in Sutton in Ashfield, NottinghamshireNottinghamshire, England.  His parents were: Joseph & Ann Fletcher.  He was married to Rebecca Coleman.  Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Welcome to Rootschat.

There is a tree on Ancestry that has him emigrating to America 10 May 1842 and then shows him in Canada. It gives his death in Canada as 2 June 1887.

Is this the correct person? If so what information are you looking for, his life in Canada or that of his parents and grandparents?

Hi,

Warm Welcome to RootsChat


The date you gave 30 August 1812 was the christening date.

Are you looking for info in the UK or Canada ? Always best to specify exactly what you want - saves people duplicating what you might have already  ;)
