I haven't found him yet, I do know he emigrated in 1912, and I have found him on the 1921 Canadian census, his name was Thomas cuthbert palmer.

My half uncle emigrated to Canada when he was 14 in 1912, I understand there was a project of sending poor children or orphans to Canada at that time, can anyone shed any light on it for me?

England, I have got back to 1750 and the only way I am gpoint to be able to get the correct patents of my married ancestors is through marraige certificates, but I don't know if it is worth persuing if they either don't exist or they have very limited information.

Can anyone help me? When did marriage certificates start being issued, and when did they start including the names of the parents?

Thank you all very much, I love this site! Now I am going to look into whether there is a record of births at sea! Most exciting, makes a change from miners and labourers!

Where have you found the information birth date 20th May baptism Biddeford, and if that is the same Louisa, why is she on the census as being born off cape st vincent ? Nanny jan, where did you get all that lovely information, it looks very promising, maybe you are all right, she was born at sea, that would explain why Vincent is part of her name! Please let me know what your source of information is, I can't find it anywhere!

My gggrandmother was Louisa Vincent lock, she was born 'off cape St Vincent, someone on ancestry.com has suggested that means St Vincent and the grenadines. She was born in 1813, I have got all that off the census and she was married in 1840 in Plymouth to Edward Curtis who was a master mariner. Any suggestions as to how I find out if she was born in st vincent and how I find out if she was a slave, I know slavery had been outlawed by 1807, but transportation still went on.
