Thank you Sandra that is very kind of you.
I will give you as much detail as possible.
FAMILY ONE
Joesph Cairns b Ireland 1881
Elizabeth Lizzie) Cairns nee McNeilly b Old Monkland, Coatbridge, Scotland 1882 Mother’s maiden name Margaret Donald.
They married 13/05/1905 in Coatbridge and had Daughter Margaret Donald Cairns b 23/04/1906 who died 20/05/1906 and had another Daughter with same name born 19/09/1909.
I have not been able to find them on 1911 Scottish Census.
I have no emigration details at all but know they went to Canada (see Family Three)
FAMILY TWO
Thomas McNeilly b Old Monkland, Coatbridge 1882 Mother maiden name as Above for Elizabeth.
Ellen McNeilly nee Linden b Old Monkland 1882
Married RC Church Coatbridge 26/10/1916
Unaware of any Children.
They made a return voyage to Canada aboard the SS Metagama arriving Quebec 24/09/1927:
Ship manifest has them as Canadian citizens and if I read it correctly since arriving firstly in 1923.
Home address is 226, Winhort St, Hamilton, Ontario.
FAMILY THREE
Peter McNeilly b Old Monkland 1894 Mother’s maiden name as Elizabeth & Thomas.
Helen McNeilly nee?? b 1900
Son Allan McNeilly aged 4.
Arrived as immigrants at Quebec aboard the SS Minniedosa 29/06/1929.
Ships manifest staesbthat their contact/sponsor in Canada is his Brother in Law Joesph Cairns of 591 Broch Avenue, Toronto. (That’s how I know Joesph & Elizabeth emigrated).
I have photos from 1940/41 with writing on the back stating “Uncle Tom & Young Cousin Harry”, “Aunt Nellie & Uncle Tom” and “Aunt Lizzie & Cousin Jennie”. There are several other photos of these and others but with no annotation.
I know Dad arrived at Halifax Nova Scotia in August 1940 and have photos of him at Debert, Hamilton, Niagara, Toronto, Calgary, Banff & where he was stationed until May 1941 Medicine Hat Alberta.
That’s all I have... good luck and once again thank you so so much for your time & trouble. More than happy to reciprocate if you need anything from Norfolk & Suffolk England.
Stay safe in these troubling times.
Regards
Tioman
