Looking to find the name of the ship that carried the following from Scotland (Glasgow perhaps) to Canada (Montreal, Quebec or Toronto) ...

JAMES LINDSAY and his wife ANNA GEORGINA CONSTANCE LINDSAY.

The time frame would be between 1905 and 1907. They settled in Saskatchewan.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

James Lindsay, 25 with wife Annie G.C. 23 are on the 1906 Saskatchewan census with his brother Wm S. Lindsay 19.  James shows an immigration year of 1903, Annie 1904 and William 1906.

Saskatchewan Vital Statistics shows the birth of David Wyle Lindsay April 21 1907 Wolseley Sask. with parents James Lindsay and Anna Georgina Constance Stewart.

1916 Canadian census shows them living on Main St. Maple Creek Sask. where James is the Municipal Clerk.  James still shows an immigration year of 1903 and Annie shows 1905.  David 9, Mared 6 both born Saskatchewan and then Charles and James both 3 b. Scotland and 1 year old Mary b. Sask.

This link gives a brief history of the family in Limerick Saskatchewan.  There are a number of sailing for the Lindsay name in the 20s and 30s showing an address of Limerick, Saskatchewan their destination in Canada.

Is there any way we would be able to find the name of the ship that brought James Lindsay to Canada in 1903? We believe he sailed from Glasgow and would have arrived in either Halifax NS or Quebec.

There is an arrival for James Lindsay June 30, 1903 on the Sicilian sailing from Glasgow to Montreal.  He is 23, from Lanark, Scot, occupation - traveller, Canadian destination Calgary NWT - no indication as to marital status.   A possibility but perhaps not a strong one.

Other sailings for this family include
James Lindsay travelled back from Greenock to Quebec arriving 10 Sep 1927 on the Montrose
James and Annnie travelled back from Greenock to Montreal arriving 23 Oct 1931 on the duchess of Atholl
Annie (50) and daughter Maud (22) b. Sask. travelled back from Greenock to Quebec arriving 21 Oct 1932 on the duchess of Bedford.  Annie indicated she had been in Canada from March 1905 to July 1932.
Annie G.S. and daughter Mary (11) b. Limerick, Sask. travelled from Glasgow to Montreal arriving 3 Sept 1926 on the Metagama.  Sister, Miss Roberts 7 Glenbank Terrace Lenzie Scottish contact.    Again Annie indicated her stay in Canada started in 1905.
The family, James, Annie, Charles Stewart, James, Mary, Maud and David Wyle, travelled back from a family vacation on the Tunisian arriving Sept 1921.  Indication that the family arrived in 1914 into the port of Boston.
There is a record for Mrs. Constance (James) Lindsay with David Wylie and Maud arriving 1 April 1910 from Glasgow to Boston
David Wylie Lindsay,  travelled on the Duchess of Atholl from Greenock to Montreal arriving 19 July 1929.

UK inboard records include

David Lindsay, 16, student, travelled on the Metagama from St. John NB to Glasgow arriving 10 Feb 1924

The family travelled a lot.  Still didn't find the answer to your original question of their arrival.

Nice job, Debbie...Great that son James kept farming in Limerick! We need our farmers! The William S. ( Died in WW1) on the same page must have been his brother...Those town histories are such a fabulous thing to have...

The farm is still in the family. James (twin of Charles) farmed until his death in 1995 and his son, Robert, still farms.....
