If correct family 1930 has them with four more children but not absolutely sure this is yours as you'll need to locate the 1920...should be New Jersey according to oldest son still at home! https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XC9H-P6P
Joseph, Jemima H, Paul F. and Leslie D.

Ah, I was wrong they are already in Clackamas, Oregon 1920 and I give you that clue as the mother & daughter not properly named...and with them is a son John born 1901...
Happy hunting through the censuses https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1&region=UNITED_STATES&recordType=Census
Actually not a stretch. Portglenone is considered part of Ballymena and I think this is her sister. I am working on Martha Mc Cammon and these are her aunts
Do see death of Leslie D. at a young age  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N3Y9-9JL

and just because I found it just now, perhaps a sister for Jemima, altho mother is "Martha Ann Luke" https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F56T-JJF although may be a stretch as Jemima was born Ballymena

would be 1911 to 1913. Post cards from 1912 are post marked Banff. Thank you!

Please forgive me for not using this site and replying as is polite to each but I normally don't use chat sites. This site and all of you on this site have been amazing. Thank you so much for all of your assistance.
William likely did come to Canada for at least a while to work. The railway in Winnipeg was providing much needed stable work. Reason both the McCammons and Johnstons were there. Martha stated she was going to her father . She landed up working in Alberta for a while at the Banff Springs hotel. This is family verbal history. There is no reason to believe he divorced and remarried. I will be taking out the dates of death for both Nancy Agnes and William as they are not verifiable.
Again many thanks to you all!

Thank you. That information is extremely useful. was it common the n to use both names at different times because the census in 1901 and 1911 has the female head as Nancy in 1901 and then Agnes in 1911.

Glad you found a family connection.  The moderators will remove your email address to prevent spamming.  Instead post one more time, hi is sufficient, and then you can contact bsjam by PM (private messaging).  The PM button is the green scoll on the left hand side of the screeen and you need 3 posts in order to use it.

Nancy and Ann seem to be interchangeable as Christian names and I've found that Agnes and Nancy also seem to be interchangeable, at least in Scotland.  Agnes/Nancy are most likely the same person.

Hi

there is an exit out of the UK on the Empress of Britain of a Martha McCammon, aged 19, going to her father giving a destination of Winnipeg, leaving from Liverpool and arriving in Quebec on 13 May 1911.

It does say she is Irish (doesn't say where particularly) but she is sailing on her own.

Could this be her?

the record you quoted in for the Martha McCammon that married Richard Johnston but the picture is not of her. From Martha's granddaughter.

I beleive I am the owner of the ancestry site this post has been making reference to. I just found Rootchat and am very excited to have done so. My Grandmother was Martha McCammon and I knew her well. She married Richard Johnston ( thank you for the date of marriage as my previous hunting including on google had not revealed anything) and they lived in Winnipeg all their life. There are still relatives there. I would love to communicate with anyone looking for or having knowledge about my Grandmother as I had hit a dead end. I have some postcards sent back and forth from Ireland to Winnipeg that gave me clues as to who was moving where.
Just as a note, I dont know when Martha's dad died. I was making some assumptions but sometimes having a date there brings up some clues. I forget that others are relying on this information. I also beleive Nancy was Marthas mom but I think she may have died and a relative Agnes stepped in to help. Postcards from Agnes are signed Mother so I am looking to verify facts here. I have also hired a geneologist in Ireland and unfortunately they could not find any additional information.
My email is (*) Would love to hear from you especially if you have contacts in Ireland

Brenda
