Hi, I am trying to find Wesley Ernest Inns born 1877 and Arthur James Inns born 1881 who I believe both emigrated to the US via Canada, I believe some time between 1918 and 1930. Would anyone be able to help me with this? Not sure where to start looking!
Thanks

Thank you!
Wesley and Arthur were both born in Broughton, Lancs. Arthur was born in 1880 not 1881, I got the date wrong!

Oh wow Sandra you have been busy, thank you so much and apologies for not coming back to this topic earlier! I thought I had notifications set up but I didn't so I didn't realise I had all these new replies! That's definitely my Wesley and Arthur, and probably Joe as well as they had a brother called Joseph.
Thank you so so much for all this new info, makes for interesting reading. These are the first ancestors I've come across that have emigrated :)
-
You're very welcome, pleased to have helped. Pity couldn't find more on Arthur, looks as if he stayed in Canada and they have quite strict privacy laws.
Happy Hunting
Sandra ;)

Hi there: I am looking for my Grandmothers crossing from Bedfordshire to Canada settling in Vancouver, B.C.
MAUD(MAUDE) BUCKINGHAM (1884) left sometime after the Titanic, so would be late 1912 onward, with her infant son WILLIAM BUCKINGHAM, born in NOV 1910, her husband HORACE BUCKINGHAM (1885) followed them shortly after.
Thank you for any info, or where I can look further.

Hi Gail

Hi Gail
I found an entry for a Horace Wm. Buckingham on the Tunisian which arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia on March 17, 1911. His occupation is listed as a carpenter and he was destined to Vancouver, BC.
Hopefully, this link will get you to the image of the page in the passenger list.

Thank you so much Susan, you were so quick to reply, this information is most valuable and I can tell my Aunt of my findings.
Also I was wondering if you could look up a Herbert Kent born about 1877 came to Canada from Suffolk, England, married in 1907 in
Manitoba, so his crossing would be sometime between 1900 and 1907.
Thanks so much for all.

Hi Gail
I found an entry for a W.H. Kent, age 27, from Sussex, England, aboard the Tunisian which arrived in April 1904. He is destined to Winnipeg. Perhaps this is your man.
Unfortunately, Herbert Kent seems to be a little more difficult to find than the others.
You can see the entry at this link:

PS I see on your profile that you are on Saltspring. I'm in Nanaimo so we're practically neighbours!! LOL
-
Thank you so very much, it has to be him, as he disappeared after the 1901 Census.
Thanks again, I haven't done very much on the family tree for a long time, but am getting back now that I have found
some new info.
Yes, we are on Saltspring Island, so we definitely are neighbours.
Thanks again.

Hi Sue:
I do have one other request if at all possible,

DODMAN, Marie Louise born 1883, "
SANDERS, William born 1844 "
SANDERS, Mary Ann born, 1849 "
There could be many more Dodman's and Sanders on the same voyage.
Thanks again for all.

There is an entry for an F.H. Dodman (age 23, Coach builder) and wife Mrs. Dodman (age 24) aboard the Lake Champlain arriving in Quebec, PQ in June 1908. They are destined to Montreal. Perhaps these are your ancestors?
