Hi Marion Have you tried the website, www.automatedgenealogy.com , to search for your family? It is a different transcription from the one you will find on Ancestry, and they may have interpreted spellings differently. They also have a different search engine which searches on different principles. The only Canadian census you will find them on is the 1911. Later censuses won't be published for a number of years yet. Families certainly moved across the border, but that may not be the only reason not to find them in the census. /cheers Pat On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 9:48 PM, marion <[email protected]> wrote: > I would be glad of any suggestions, please: I've just traced my gt > uncle Robert Thomas BURGIN, his wife Annie, his children Thomas and > Muriel and in-laws Joseph and Agnes LOWES to Halifax, where they > landed in 1904.
