Canada / Re: Looking for help on Kenneth McKenzie of Boularderie (B ~1805, D 1869)

A warm welcome from me too!

I haven’t been able to find any more info about Kenneth so far but am posting this photo that might be connected in case you haven’t seen it….

On the website…
Click on properties, then Kempt Head, then look for MacKenzie House and click on it.

Durham / Re: James Oswald Clazey 1885
« on: Friday 20 February 26 18:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hi again.

About the manifest…

The ship Oswald sailed on was the S S Californian. It left Glasgow 30 Apr 1910 and arrived in New York 09 May 1910.

The manifest entry is 2 pages. Oswald is found on line 22.

The destination info is found on the second page. The info related to Oswald’s father appears to be written over the top of a Mrs Isabella Lane (she would be another rellie). His address is written in the same hand as his name.

Of interest is that Isabella is living at 21 St John Pl Brooklyn in the 1910 census and was at the same address in a previous one as well. No James in her household.

There is no sign of James anywhere else I have looked so I wonder if his mention on the manifest might perhaps be something of a red herring?

The manifest images are available on ancestry if you have access.

FollowingOswald Clazey b. 1878 to James Clazey and Charlotte Gray.

Oswald Clazey arrived in New York USA 09 May 1910. Last permanent residence Sunderland England. Nearest relative back home wife Mary in Sunderland. He was going to his FATHER Jas Clazey in Brooklyn New York, address 21 St John St.

Oswald’s wife Mary and by then 2 sons Oswald and Archie arrived to join him 31 Oct 1910.

The family is together in the 1915 New York census. Then it appears Mary dies in 1916. There is a findagrave entry for her.

Oswald remarries in 1925 to widow Addie De Baek. Father James O Clazey. Mother Charlotte Gray. It appears the couple subsequently travelled to England, arriving back 02 Oct 2025. Relative in the country he was coming from is given as his mother Mrs C Swaine (I believe Charlotte Chazey married Alfred Swaine in 1915?)

Correct Oswald, then.

So it appears that James possibly returned to New York to live. I haven’t, however, so far been able to find him mentioned other than in the ship manifest.

Anyway, food for thought….

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Steed Family
« on: Wednesday 18 February 26 18:21 GMT (UK)  »
The 1919 death cert for the James Steed has his parents as Robert Steed and Agnes Neil.

This looks like James and Family in the 1861 census, courtesy or Library and Archives Canada…

That death cert is available on ancestry if you have access and should also be available on familysearch (free).

I can’t see it being a problem, although I can’t speak from experience. I believe you would have to meet certain conditions, however. See attached for info…

Birth of A J
Montreal Quebec
Surname as mother at marriage to Frederick


Birth of P M
Montreal Quebec
Parents Frederick Field and Maud Webb
Parents designated as sponsers

Will PM their names.

Images with further birth info for the children are available on ancestry. I have not added it here b/c both children could technically both be still alive. Should also be available on familysearch as would the marriage.

Images of the remaining info posted just prior are available on ancestry. I don’t know if familysearch would also have it.
