My great uncle Frederick Harvey born Ipswich 1904, emigrated to Canada & died unmarried in Barwick,Ontario, circa 1940's. There did exist a photo of him looking like a "Trapper" standing outside a log cabin. I do not know when he emigrated, but instincts say between 1912 & 1925? His mother died in 1912 & his father remarried in 1914. I have not been able to find the father's death but he died before 1925 when my gran married & as the step mum was a witness I guess Fred had aleady emigrated? Also the step mum went on to remarry a man she had been a house keeper to, so I wander if she had coped with a young step daughter but maybe Fred went into an orphanage & was sent abroad as a child, or did he go of his own accord as a young man? If only we asked more questions?
?? Of course the date of death of his father would help, but I have scanned the BMD Indexes to no avail, why do these people vanish? Any help re how to trace Fred's emigration appreciated? Thanks in anticipation Diana
