Isabella Chalmers from Scotland to Canada in 1916

[sage]

Hi All,

I have a shipping manifest for 'Athenia' departing Glasgow 29 Aug 1916 with Isabella Chalmers aged 45 and 3 daughters, Christina aged 11, Agnes aged 9 and Mary aged 7.  Her destination was Sault Ste Marie and she was to join her sons, George and Robt Chalmers and possibly a daughter Isabella.  There is a record of their arrival but its very difficult to read. 

My question is what happened to them all after their arrival?  I have already done some work on son George who lived and died in Sault Ste Marie.

I found the son Robt arriving Quebec 18 Sep 1912 on board 'Cassandra' also bound for Sault Ste Marie but I don't know what happened to him either. George and his wife Elizabeth arrived in November of the same year.

A possible complication is that the 3 daughters travelling with Isabella Chalmers (nee Paterson) were born to her second husband, Matthew Roy.  After he died in 1910 she and the children appear on the 1911 Scottish census as Roy but she seems to have reverted to Chalmers (her first husband's name) thereafter.

Is it possible to find them on a Canadian census?  They all had a rough start back in Scotland and I wondered if life got any better for them in Canada.

Regards, Sage.

Hi Fastfusion...thanks for that.  I don't have an ancestry subscription at the moment but if anyone finds anything of note I can follow up on it at a later date.

Rosie thanks for your help...interesting that both girls took up with Greek men!  So sad for Mary that she was mistreated...she deserved better after such a rough start back in Scotland. 

I will see if I can find anything else on familysearch.  Thanks so much.
