Hi Glen, What a wonderfull offer!!! [smile] I seek any Locke/Lock's you can find, and your help is much appreciated especially as I ama totally blind researcher. Another name to follow on a second message. Kind regards, Gerry.

Thank you for your kind offer to the Gloucester list. I would very much appreciate a look up. The principle name in which I am interested at present is Colchester - any person with that surname. If the database separates out names from the location called Colchester, then there should be relatively few persons of that name travelling there. If your database does not distinguish the place from the town, then I realising that I am asking for far to big a request, and it would not be possible. Key persons who I am interested in are: William Parsons Colchester who may have been in Canada prior to 1865, but per a local newspaper returned from Halifax in July 1868, and was out there again in about 1872 or 1873. He later travelled to Panama and other Central American locations, so I would expect references to him then. Malcolm Graeme Colchester who travelled between England and Lake Erie in May 1910. He died in Nelson BC that year. My great aunt Henrietta Louise Colchester and her sister Hilda left Canada to live in England in about 1914 or earlier. I would be interested to discover when she first came to England. John Harold Colchester born Sept 1884 has given me a great headache. The first record I have of him is in Saskatchewan in 1911 saying that he was English. I (and his grandchildren and great grandchildren) would dearly like to find him on a ship going to Canada. This might at last identify how he connects in to the rest of the family. I am interested in all entries relating to the surname Colchester, but fully appreciate that this might be to much to request, depending up how the database is organised. But I would be very pleased if you were able to find any references to add to the family history. Wishing you every success in your researches and thanking you for your kind offer Giles Colchester, Researching COLCHESTER family, any spelling, any time, any place And PACKARD in Suffolk -----Original Message----- From: Glen Yearsley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 17 September 2008 21:32 To: [email protected] Subject: [GLS] Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935 Hello to the list: I now have access to Canadian passenger lists dated 1865 - 1935 to Canada from the British Isles.

Thank you for the offer. I'm looking for Jane Graham. She was born 1810 or 12 and was born in England, although she spent much of her adult life in Ireland. She would have come between 1879-1900, probably closer to 1880-1881. She may have been accompanied by her adult son Frank, born 1832 in England.

Hi Glen I would appreciate it if you could look for a John and Lilian Sharp(e) and a Ethel Floyd , who were all in Toronto by 1911 . Many thanks Carol Jones

May I be one of the first to say a huge 'thank you' to Glen for offering these look-ups and for finding the family I queried about and the date and ship they sailed on. I - and no doubt everyone else on this list - appreciate your efforts very much. Thanks again, Diana

Hi Glen not a GLS chap but a STS one - Edward Charles Woodhall, went to Canada around 1913 to learn farming, returned the following year to fight for his country [sadly died in the Somme]. I believe he sailed from Liverpool Many thanks Lynne >> Hello to the list: >> >> I now have access to Canadian passenger lists dated 1865 - 1935 to Canada >> from the British Isles.

This is a very kind offer. I hope you are not too overwhelmed. If you have time I would appreciate you looking for: ** Caroline Elizabeth Bowley and Richard Hewer Chesterman ** of Kempsford, Gloucestershire. The couple were married at Cambray Chapel, Cheltenham 5th June 1896 They may have travelled under either surname; Thay had effectively eloped as Caroline's father was much against the marriage. Caroline died after the birth of a son 9th September 1897 in Wallace, Manitoba, Canada and Richard brought the son (also Richard) back to Kempsford in time to appear in the 1901 census. If you can find the journey out to Canada or the journey back I would be more than grateful For quick reference: Caroline Chesterman nee Bowley Richard Chesterman Outward: between 5 Jun 1896 and 9 Sep 1897 Return (Richard and Richard) between Sep 1897 and 1901 Regards Martin Bowley Oxfordshire ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glen Yearsley" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 9:32 PM Subject: [GLS] Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935 > Hello to the list: > > I now have access to Canadian passenger lists dated 1865 - 1935 to Canada > from the British Isles.

Glen, Please see if you can find my maternal grandmother. Rosa Kate Newbery Culverwell..............maiden name Birthdate..........Feb. 21, 1891 She suppose to have come to Canada July 1912 on the Victorian but I cannot find her. Maybe you will have better luck, I hope. If possible could you send me the page that she is on so that I might see who she travelled with. Thank you in advance. Bonnie

Hi Glen Many thanks for the offer. I am seeking two men who may or may not have traveled together. The time is c. 1881 and the names are John Askew Chambers (b.c.1818) and George Sell (b.c. 1851). Would be delighted if you could find them!

Thank you for your kind offer. I expext your Inbox will be crammed, so answer this, if you can, in your own time. I would be interested in any male BENFIELD from the area of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, circa 1890 - 1914. There was a family 'story' that a brother of my Grandmother, skipped off to Canada to avoid a paternity issue. He was never heard of again, may have been called Albert, Phillip or Richard.

Hello to the list: Many of you noticed my posting yesterday to do look ups of passengers that came to Canada, and some of you . many in fact.:-) have taken advantage of that offer. I have had great success in tracking many of your requests through passenger lists and Canadian census materials many ending up in Ontario. Keep the requests coming, and if you have more than one name, please enter them in a separate e-mail. If you are a one name study send your request along and mention that, and I will send as many names to you at one time as I can, then tackle them again later. Information that helps in locating people on the system; Their birth date year if known, please tell me if the surname is a married name or birth name, the approximate year of travel or range, if they are travelling with children; the children's names and ages if known. Basically any information that will narrow the search. The requests with the most material usually have a better chance of discovery. So please send as much information as you can. Thanks, now back to the task at hand Glen A. Yearsley

Thank you, Glen, for your offer to look up passengers to Canada. My grandparents travelled from England to Kelowna, British Columbia between 1906 and 1912. The party should have consisted of Grote and Mabel STIRLING and at least their two oldest children, Gwen and Barbara. I would really appreciate it if you could find out when they made the journey, and by what route.

Hi ? It seems from the IGI that it was a Mary HESKINS who married Henry GAY, not Martha. So you might like to check these out. IGI Mary HESKINS bap 5 Mar 1721 Old Meeting House Independent, Stroud - parents HESKINS and Mary and Henry GAY bap 22 Nov 1720 same place -parent Thomas GAY They would be of the right ages to be married in 1744. There is a John /Jno having at least two children 1725 and 1731 there so he COULD be Mary's father but I am only guessing. What do you think?

Hi all, Just a mention, on Gale there is a whole page of names in the above List. Thought someone might like to transcribe the page for Genuki. Not me though, too busy with Devon stuff. PS I no longer have access to Gale. Bev Edmonds Advertisements & Notices The Bristol Mercury (Bristol, England), Tuesday, April 26, 1831; Issue 2139. Doc No Y3206650826

I'm looking for info on Martha HESKINS; Martha married Henry GAY 28 Jul 1744 in Stroud but I can't seem to find any other info on her before this, can anyone help me out here? Thanks.
