returning from canada
« on: Saturday 20 August 05 01:13 BST (UK) »

hi
Trying to locate my grandmother returning from Canada between 1912-1918

Her name would have been Mary Miller ms Johnson

She may have returned around  Feb 1914 as according to a rellie my uncle was born either on board a vessel or in canada although I have been unable to trace him

If anyone can shed some light on this or any possibilaties I would really appreciate it

Her husband was Ernest Charles Miller and what a surprise her son was Ernest  Charles Miller

Her husband was apperently killed during the war at sea however I have been unable to trace this

Fingers crossed in hope

Hi!

I thought I'd mention this as there may be a connection to the family you are
looking for.

The national archives website (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk) has details of medal
cards from the First World War and there is one for an Ernest Charles Miller, who
was a Company Quarter Master Sergeant with the Canadian Infantry. His regiment
no was 629936.

Hope it helps!

Hi Jean,

I have PM'd you on the Great War Forum in response to this search.  I don't think that the Ernest Charles Miller in the Canadian Forces is your guy, but there may be some other possibilities.  More details in my PM.

Hello Jean: Heres another possibility:
   Miller Ernest Charles William
   Coldstream Guards 1st Bat.

   Died...29/10/1914   # 8959
   
   Parents: William Henry & Sarah Jane Miller

  This information was taken from the CWGC casualty lists from WW1. The only one listed with that name. If it is your Ernest, the address of parents may be a lead.Good Luck.

Hi Margaret

Many many thanks for the look ups either could be my ERNEST as I have absolutely no information on him except that he married My grandmother around 1912 and that they had 2 children ERNEST & JESSIE
Ernest JNR I know was born Feb 1914 am not sure whether he was the eldest
I have been unable to trace My grandmothers Birth cert or place of birth and was hoping to find either a Marriage cert or somethign that could lead me in the right direction

really appreciate the look ups you have done and a keeping them all on file until I can find something definate to go on

keep sending anything that may be of help PLEASE

regards
