I wonder, given the range of great ideas and feedback that people on the list offered before, whether anyone has any thoughts on my current wall ... John Archie Leonard DUNKLEY (who firmly used the name Archie or even Arch) was born in 1872 in Market Harborough; his Oxford connection is that he married my great grandmother in Woodstock. He appears in Market Harborough in the 1881 census and is in Oxfordshire in the 1901 census. The missing census entry is explained by his being in Canada, and I have him in the 1891 census there (lodging with an English family). As one of the final parts of a puzzle I am assembling I want very much to find out when he sailed to Canada and who with (the latter, whether alone or with people, will aid greatly in identifying faces in photos: his parents were Thomas and Mary and *might* have travelled with him). Likewise, his return voyage. I can narrow the dates a little. I have found a reference to him in Jackson's journal at the end of 1899, so he is in the UK by then. In January 1894 he was in Canada, where a letter refers to his having been 'in office' in the temperance society for five years and thanking him for past service; the implication is that he resigned because he was returning to England. Thus, outward journey between 1881 and 1889, return journey between 1894 and 1899 (inclusive dates). Here's what I've tried: Ancestry for incoming ships through wider periods than above, using any alternative spellings of his name (or merely for any Dunkley's and variants) without luck, even looking at the original documents for transcription errors. It still doesn't mean he isn't in there, but I can't find him on any ship that seems viable (ie one that would have left from a US or Canadian port). Neither can I find a Thomas or Mary Dunkley returning (they would have had to come back as well, if they ever went) or even, as a sideline, the family that Archie stayed with while in Canada (if all were English, parents and children, all - given their ages - should show up in a UK census). I don't have full access to world passenger lists on Ancestry but there are few likely options for Canadian records (there is one Archie Dunkley there, perhaps entering via Nova Scotia, but the data available isn't enough to tempt me - thus far - into paying for records on the basis of not knowing even a date for the voyage). The records on Find my Past don't seem to cover the right dates. So finally, my queries: I've found it difficult to determine whether there are more records yet to be scanned, or whether whatever exists is now online. Anyone know? And the obvious query: is there anything else that I should be looking at for these voyages? This is going to eventually turn into a wider research area for me, as there are family links with the BANBURY family of Woodstock, which encouraged and aided emigration from Oxfordshire to New Zealand and I hole a number of portraits (some with names) that were sent back from the new country to say thankyou. Tracing some of those seems an interesting idea, and Southampton is a port with a direct link - through a photographic studio - to a Woodstock photographer. Any ideas for alternative sources of information on passengers to and from Canada, for these dates, are welcome. Chris Howes
