This is a very old topic but I wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted on it, if they're still around  - this is also my family, and I've also been searching for John and James, the only two from that family that have evaded me so far. Although I have been give a bit of information previously about them emigrating to Canada (I sometimes think I should move there just to research, so many of the family emigrated!) I have never been able to verify it all but I should be able to get enough information from this to confirm what I already have. So thanks all  :-*

 Hello suek2075...If you need any help, just make the inquiry right on this thread...as long as it is about the same subjects we'd prefer to keep it all in one query anyway. Not sure if elspcam will be notified as not an active memeber anymore....but I will  private message to say there has been a response just in case.
 As you have noted we have fabulous helpers on here, so go ahead and start a new query for the others as well...J.J.

That is amazing, thank you so much Priscilla. I can't believe that all the searching I've done, wrong certificates I've bought, people I've talked to - and this thread is sitting here with most of the info I need to confirm everything and now there are photographs. While I was checking some of this I realised that I have also lost their brother Thomas - I'd forgotten about him. (can't you just tell I'd lose my head if it wasn't screwed on ???) Thomas was the middle brother, born in 1875 - whether he emigrated with them I don't know. No one has mentioned him when they've talked about Joh and James, so I suspect not. I'll do a bit more searching before I ask anyone else to spend their time looking him up. Thanks again - the gravestone sites popping up everywhere are a great resource, I found someone else recently along with two of his daughters who died young, and one that I didn't even know about.

I see no Thomas b. circa 1875 on the 1921 Canada census
The other 2 are in Riley Municipality, Grain farmers on Section 20, Township 18 Range 29, Meridian 4
It has James as married/crossed out then John and Alice J. age 36 born England, imm 1910 & Elizabth M. age 6 & Elsie A. J. age 5

Sandra - thanks, I'll see if she responds to an email for here first - I feel a bit like a stalker :) I have seen elspcam on ancestry previously but haven't used it for a while now. We may even have talked about something in our trees many years ago.

JJ - thank you for that. It's always possible that Thomas may even have died young, I can't remember looking for a death cert for him, maybe I need to try that. I  think he always got overlooked in the search for John and James, poor man. What do you mean by James was married/crossed out in the Canadian census - just the married bit was crossed out? Would make sense if he never married.
