emigration Allcock/Preval

[lanshaw]

Trying to find the emigration to Canada for Maud Allcock, her younger brother Walter and her cousin Sam Preval.  From what I have been told they moved to Canada around 1917.  At this time Maud would have been about 24, Walter about 13 and Sam about 15.

I know Maud eventually married a Campbell (when?) and settled in Cobourg Ontario, Walter I know nothing of what he did, Sam Preval settled in Montreal and had a photography studio there.

Any help or leads greatfully appreciated.

I am still looking for her immigration, but from below I must be on the right path.

Hi Lanshaw,
Looking at the OCFA for Cobourg Union, there is a Pte Campbell, which reminded me the time of Maud's immigration would have been towards the end of WW1. Just wondering if you've ever considered Maud may have been a War Bride and may even have married in England.
I'm sure this is in the resources but in case you haven't seen it, this database covers Northumberland County, Ontario.

Hi Shash and Shealer

Thanks for what you have found so far.  Yes that is Maud listed in the cemetery record.  After talking to my mother again (Mauds neice) it is possible that she was a war bride who married a Douglas Campbell.  Also, she seems to recall that Douglas was a fireman and that their son, also Douglas, was in the Canadian air force possibly a "test Pilot".

Well I have found Maud Allcock and Sam Preval and his family in the Passenger Lists.  The ony one I am left with is Walter Allcock who came over in 1924 but unfortunately the Passenger Lists only go to 1922 so I shall wait until they add another couple of years to the listing.

Many thanks for all the assistance
