Hi Everyone
Can some one help me with a ship passenger list.
My search is for info on a Mrs Emma Herring Born 1890 who emigrated to Montreal Canada in 1911. She was married to a William J Herring and lived in Drake St. Montreal.
I am guessing that she returned to the UK in 1925 to be at her mothers wedding
I have just found a photo which is I believe of Emma and her sister Florence taken when she returned to the UK in about 1925, this I think may have been to attend the wedding which took place in Birmingham.
September 1925.

There's a Mrs Emma Herring aged 29 on the Adriatic arrived Halifax Nova Scotia in September 1919 with 3 children: William 9, Leonard 6, and Frederick 2. En route to Montreal. Had lived in Canada before - 2 years in Montreal 1912-1914.

Emma was already back in England when William joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force in September 1914. The address given for her as next of kin was 4 Winchester Place Alum Rock Road ....Birmingham.

Hi ShaunJ
Many thanks for your quick response to my query.
The info about Emma confirms previous info supplied.
But what I am struggling with is whether Emma and her sister made a visit to England somewhere between 1925 - 1926?
Regards Henery

I don't have a passenger list, but I am Emma Jane Green Herring's grandaughter and my name is Jane. I am Frederic's daughter. The picture of Emma and her sister Florence would be correct as they came and went from England together. Florence had no children and her 1st husband died in the Dardanelles in 1stWW. I have the warmest memories of all the days I spent with Nana & Grandad @ 5434 Drake St. Uncle Bill suffered from multiple sclerosis and died of a heart attack, uncle Len was killed in a car accident, Frederic died of mitral valve disease (CHF) and I wonder what happened to uncle Bob (RD for Robert Douglas)?

I'm sure that Henery will be thrilled to have established modern day contact with Emma's descendants.
You can use the PM button (the scroll button on the left) to contact each other. Usually this function only works if you have posted 3 times. Just reply to this thread 2 more times (with or without any information - a simple hello would suffice) and then you can PM.

I fail to see a PM button

On the left hand side you see the username you logged in with. Underneath that at the very bottom is a picture icon and a scroll that lights up green when you are online. That scroll is the PM button. Just click on it underneath Henery's name to send them a private message. Hope that's clear.

I found the passener list where Emma originally arrived in Canada. She was listed as Mrs. E. Herring and was on the Victorian with son William which arrived in Quebec on 18 May 1912. Here's a link to the image at Library and Archives Canada (line 3 & 4):

Here's a link to the passenger list from 1919 that Shaun referred to at LAC (starting line 4 - it's really difficult to read):

Hi Jacquie in Canada
Sorry for delay in replying to yourmessage of the 11th Dec. your input is very much appreciated. I am pleased to say with all the help that you and other Rootschat members have given me on the subject of the Herring Family I have made contact with a relative in Canada and am hopefully re-establishing the ties, which had been lost between our families.
So a very huge thank you to everyone who has helped me!!!
Especially KarenM who got me started way back in February ( The search for Pem!)
May I wish you all The Compliments of the Season which I trust will be a great one! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

P.s. I may be back next year on a different quest.

I'm replying to janeb (my cousin). Hi Jane, I will email you as soon as I get my three posts in and can use personal messaging. The reply to your question is that your Uncle Bob and Auntie Marge (my parents) moved to Calgary in 1975, along with Emma Jane Herring (our grandmother. of course). Nannie died there (in 1976 I believe) and was brought back to Montreal to be buried with Grandad. Subsequently, my brother Bob (and wife Randi) moved to Calgary in 1976 and my sister Patricia in 1997. Dad passed away in April 1999, Patricia passed away in June 2009, and Mom passed away in May 2010. I will try to email you once I get my three posts in!!
cheers
