Lookups Please (Manitoba?) - Stanley Cockcroft and Joseph Shaw

[hmserge]

Hi

I was wondering whether anyone had can help, please? 

I am looking for a Stanley Cockroft born about 1898 Yorkshire, England.  I have found 2 records for him in Canada (soldiers of first world war and 1916 Canada census of Manitoba), I was wondering what details were wrote down for him.   I would be most grateful to know if anyone finds him in passenger records.

Stanley's uncle was a Joseph Shaw born about 1846 Halifax, Yorkshire, England.  He went to Canada on the Bavarian in 1903 but I cannot find any other record for Joseph Shaw after that date.  I am wondering whether Stanley went to Canada to see or even live with him.

If anyone can find passenger lists etc for me I would be most grateful.  I am desperately trying to find out what happened to Joseph in Canada. 

Thank you

You may view Stanley's attestation papers here:

(You can see the actual image of his record.)

According to the papers, he was born 30 October 1897 in Brighouse, Yorkshire, England.

Perhaps you know this, but a Stanley Cockroft, born 30 October 1897, passed away in Orange County, Florida on 11 January 1985.

Do you have or need information about Stanley's life after his arrival in Canada?

 - there's a marriage for a Stanley Cockroft in 1923 in Manitoba.

http://www.findmypast.co.uk/passengerListPersonSearchStart.action
 - shows "Stanl Cockcroft" heading to Canada (St. John, Newfoundland) in 1915.

For tracing Joseph Shaw - what date did he arrive on the Bavarian? (it made several crossings in 1903).
You can see the original image here:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/passenger/index-e.html - it should say on the passenger list what his final destination was.

Hi Lisa and jorose

Thank you for your replies.  I don't have subscription to find my past, but does it give who Samuel Cockroft was travelling with in the passenger list? 
I will view the information you have given me
Thanks for the information of his date of birth and death, I didn't have these dates so that's great thank you.

Joseph emigrated on the 28th May 1903 from Liverpool to Montreal.  He travelled with his brother James and a friend Mr Drake.  It seems Mr Drake stayed in Canada and James travelled back to Yorkshire, England.  Joseph disappears  .  I thought that maybe Stanley may have emigrated to Canada to be with his uncle, but no sure.  What date did it say Stanley emigrated?

Thank you both once again

Thank you Polabear 

No Joseph with him.  I wonder if he died before that date?

A possible sighting for Joseph ..... you didn't say if he had a family?

In Assiniboia, Saskatchewan

Joseph Shaw 57
Sophie, his wife 40
Frank 22
Ethel 12
Vera 4, their children

All b. England

Al immigrated in 1903.

Hope they are yours. You should find at least some of them and Stanley in the 1901 and 1911 Censuses at the link above if they stayed in Canada.

Cockroft seems an unusual name. In the Manitoba BMD index you were given the link to above there are 6 Cockroft marriages listed including Emmilines to Herbert Jackson. I wonder if the other folks are also related? There are also a few deaths.

hi polarbear,

Thanks again for your reply and the information you have told me.

I forgot to mention that Joseph's is a funny story.  He was married to a Sophia with several children.  But Sophia moved to Blackpool, Lancashire in England to open a guest house with the younger children.  She is still living in Blackpool in 1911.  It seems Joseph went to Canada without his family.  In the 1901 census he is boarding at a friend's house in Halifax, Yorkshire whilst Sophia is in Blackpool with the children.  Maybe the marriage broke down. 

They didn't have any children called Frank, Ethel and Vera, which is a shame as I would have loved this to be the Joseph and Sophia that I am looking for. 

I have searched all over for Joseph after 1903 but have had no luck whatsoever. 

Looking at the Cockroft family it seems a few of them emigrated to Canada, maybe even Joseph Shaw's sister Martha Ann Cockroft? 

I think Joseph may have died in Canada but cannot find any trace for him.  He was a wire drawer in Halifax Yorkshire. 

Thanks once again and I will take a look at the Cockroft information.  This is much appreciated
