Surnames: Lauridsen,Mikota,Edwards,Quenet Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/7aB.2ACEAE/2363 Message Board Post: My mum has just found an old address book with the married name that she'd been trying to remember of an aunt of hers that emmigrated to British Columbia,Canada either just before or during the Second World War.This is a long shot but I'm hoping this will now help me find her family. Mary Jane Edwards was born 1898 in Northumberland,England,her mother was Sarah Edwards who married a widower,Matthew Strong in 1900. We know that Mary Jane worked as a nanny or childrens nurse for a family that emmigrated to Canada and Mary Jane went with them.She married a man of Danish descent who had also emmigrated,his surname was Lauridsen. Mum has an address for them at Port Hammond,B.C. and she knows they had at least one child,a daughter who they possibly named Audrey after my mum.The daughters married name was Mikota and mum has an address for her as Port Coquitlam,B.C. Mums maiden name was Quenet and Mary Jane used to send parcels of things to them from Canada that were in short supply in England due to the War. As I said,bit of a long shot,but I would dearly love to be able to put my elderly mum in touch with any of her overseas 'lost' family. Thanks,Karen. **************************************** MESSAGE BOARD POSTS: When there is a message board post on the list, please click on the link to the board post and place your reply there.
