Title: Cecilia Kirk Scotland to Canada
Post by: dodo50 on Sunday 08 February 09 14:26 GMT (UK)
Hi Canada Rootschatters.
Hoping someone out there can cast some light for me,or point me in the right direction.
I have been looking for any info on Cecilia Kirk dob 1907 Stirling have birth cert,at some point the family moved to Glasgow It was after 1901.Then In 1934 Cecilia sailed to Quebec on the Athenia,I have looked every where for her.I dont know If she stayed in Canada or went over the boarder to America?
In Glasgow she was a domestic in the hospital and is listed the same on the ships manifest.
I am wondering if she married and thats why I cant find her.
She is my grand dads sister and the last sibbling left to gather info on.
Many thanks in advance for any help I may gain from this.
               Regards Dodo50
