Title: Henry Percy Rooks
Post by: revlac on Wednesday 14 March 12 11:36 GMT (UK)
Hi
Would anyone be kind enough to do a census search for a Henry Percy Rooks b. 18th November 1903 at Cowley, Uxbridge, United Kingdom.  He was emigrated to Canada aboard the SS Scandinavian on 19th March 1915 arriving in St. John on 29th March 1915. 
Any help appreciated.

Oddly,the only person I can see arriving on that ship with a similar name is a Harry R Root.

Sorry-didn't come near to answering your query!

I checked the passenger list at LAC for the ship and dates that you gave and came up with the same info as Maureen.
I actually scanned all the pages to see if I could find another person on the pages other than Harry.

Harry R. Root, part of a group of Barnardos Home children, heading to Toronto.
The original passenger list could be either Rook or Root.

Is this the child you are looking for? A home child in a Barnardos group of children.

In the UK, you can search for bmd's at

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com
go to search

www.1901censusonline.com/main.asp?wci=welcome
go to search census and it will bring up other census years including 1911

The 1921 Canada census will become available for transcription in 2013. I don't know how long it will take before it is transcribed but it is something to keep in mind for the future.
