For what time period? Find My Past has outgoing UK passenger lists covering the years 1890 to 1960. Ancestry has incoming Canadian passenger lists covering the years 1865 to 1935 plus Form 30s for the years 1919 to 1924. Library and Archives Canada has images of passenger lists online covering 1865 to 1922 but they are searchable by ship, not passenger name and they also have Form 30s but they are not searchable by name either.

I need  lists for 1810 to about 1824 from probably Halifax to England. Also is it likely that a wife would have accompanied a sailor on a ship?
Thanks

Thanks very much Sandra. Now another question for you.  Does it say where my uncle Vincent was born, on the list. He was only 6 weeks old. I remember somebody else sent me a single list of all of them on the Metagam but NOT separate tickets that they had when they went over to Alberta from Glasgow  on the  SS. Marburn in 1924.I have all of these but none  the return journey ones.  Thanks again for all you have done.   Paul

Country of last permanent residence was Scotland (ditto for each one) listed.

Reading your other thread in conjunction with this - it looks as if the family went out in 1924 and returned to Scotland in 1926 so Vincent must have been born in Canada. There are no other passenger records other than 1924 and 1926.

The other thread said "quote :- I found that Vincent or Patrick Vincent was born on the 26th june 1926. He must/maybe was born in a hospital near the Clan Donald Colony in Alberta."


Just for information purposes - on the Canada Form 30A issued to each in 1924 - Agnes was down as Jane Agnes and John as Joseph John.


This should really have been tagged on to your other thread so that we don't waste time looking and duplicating what has been done before.
