Great Day for Canadian Genealogy - Passenger Lists

[slyvia]

Hello

Thanks for the reply I am on a yearly subscription with findmypast so I have looked through all the initial F and L and can not find anything,  I know their ages but I have also checked other age groups .

Perhaps they went in their own little boat.

Hello

I am almost 99% sure I have now found Felix and his wife, it seems that they landed in Halifax and went over on the Southwark which was bound for Portland USA.
 To be absolutely certain could you let me know where I can find the date of the 1911 census for Canada as they do appear on it.

Thank you

It began June 1....Were you able to find a passenger list with ages? J.J.

Hello

No.  Instead of age it just said -Adult- but it also said that F. Roberts was a Male Clerk and having searched through nearly every F. Roberts their does not appear to be any other clerk in the period I was looking at  betwen the time he got married in England to the 1911 census or any other time that I had looked because previously to being  in  contact with Mrs Roberts son on the internet I did not know when they had gone to Canada and had spent hours trying to find them. As the census was not until June I feel that this must be the person I am looking for.

Thanks for you help

The Archives are not that accurate, or they are not yet completely up to date.
A relative of mine returned from W.W. I and his service record indicates that he left Liverpool on May 21, 1919 and arrived in Halifax on May 28 1919 on board the Carmania.
The archives only have one entry for carmania and that is 1911 from New York to Halifax.

Check it out, Rob...those soldiers came in a day later! and there are now 19 Carmania listings so they are adding more all the time...yay.... J.J.

CARMANIA Depart-Liverpool- 1919-05-21  Arr- Halifax- 1919-05-29

Hi  J.J. Enjoying summer I hope!!

I found Alexander on the Carmania the hard way( well, not hard, just expensive!) on Findmypast.com  I also found a godd picture of the Carmania through Googel.

However, I should re-check the archives to see what their image is like.

Cheers,
Rob.

Hello everyone! Rootschatters rock!!! My father was born in Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1888 but left to homestead in Canada. Until this very minute, I never knew where he sailed from and to....I just spotted him on the list!! So, he travelled from "Geordie land" to Liverpool and landed in Montreal in 1906!!! The rest, as they say, is history!!! A great big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.  Pat
