I'm looking for more info on my grandfather

[huntrashmi]

My grandfather's name is James Edgar Yeaman. He was born in 1952 in Ontario not sure of the actual place of birth. My dad told me he was native and his father and grandparents kept in contact with my great grandmother and the rest of my family. Unfortunately they all passed away, so I can't ask them.

Looking at the Canada census records we can see that Yeaman family originally came from Scotland
Victor Yeaman’s parents were –
John Ross YEAMAN (1879-1953) and Mary Ann RITCHIE (1882-1968)
They were married in 1904 in Dundee Scotland.

It is straight forward to trace the family in the Scotland census.

The Yeaman family arrived from Scotland to St John, New Brunswick on 23 March 1920 onboard “Corsican”

Children -
-   James Yeaman (b.1905 Scotland)
-   Andrew Ritchie Yeaman (1908-1913 Scotland)
-   Maggie Ritchie Yeaman (1909-1909 Scotland)
-   John Yeaman (b. 1910 Scotland)
-   William Yeaman (b. 1914 Scotland)
-   Robert Yeaman (b. 1918 Scotland)
