Orphan Willie Woods – Help Please.

Just been doing some calculations - 

James Wood, Mar q, 1903, Bridgend, 11a, page 937

and

There's a Charles A Wood, labourer, aged 39, Steerage

17 April 1902, Liverpool to Quebec (Montreal) , Ship Parisian, Allan Line

On his own

It is just possible if James was born early on in the quarter - or even in the previous year and a late registration !

Do you get a final destination on FindMyPast?

I checked the ship out in the National Archives for final destination but couldn't find Charles A. 

I found a Sam going to Winnipeg
             a James going to Montreal
             an Alex going to Toronto

but came up empty on a Charles.  Perhaps someone else could look??

I am starting to think I need new glasses....

I had a look too my eyes are worse than yours Dolly 

I see Sam and Alex but didn't see Charles.

I'll have another go a bit later.

I hope nobody minds if any of their hard work got left out of the update reply...
Just thought since this one seems to have a direction, maybe we'll take the ball & run with it. If any clues end up pointing  another way, we can redo it...or if it stays on track, we can just copy and paste it and add new infomation.
 
 I do not know the districts on the BMD so when they say "from" or "up to" I follow the blue links to see what the registration districts were before, or next.
   so I am a nincompoop...but not a total one!

Hi Dolly

Here's a small portion of the sheet which lists Charles A Wood. He is on page 6 of 13 and is travelling Steerage. Your link just has 'Second Cabin' on it.

That was page one of the manifest.... steerage for Canada started on page 9, sorry I didn't mention that.

I finally found him but am having trouble cropping the page (never had this problem before) but when I go to open it it says something about the wrong file type.  I've done it many times before

So here is the url with him.  He should be on the page you open, if not he is on page 10, pages selected in upper right corner.... he's on the 26th line down, has lost 10 years of age and is a steel worker.  The page is crooked but there are lines and that's the way I read it....

I see him Dolly - don't think he was ours. he was a Steel Worker from Durham going to Sault Ste Marie

Have the rest deserted us??  I hope they are just off working on it by themselves hoping to come in and scoop us....     

Nothing would make me happier and I'm sure willy's son wouldn't mind either.   

Thanks Gadget.

I think that Charles must be one of the slipperiest fish that I've come across. I've been searching for him everywhere on censuses and BMDs - nothing that really fits until that 1901 one 

Maybe they're waiting for the certs to come through!
