Hi,

I came across a passenger list for Jessie Gourlay age 11 in May 1879 from Glasgow to Quebec,
with another 23 males and 25 females all under age 15.

Sadly, they had something in common.

There is a photo of J.W. Chant's store here from 1908. Click on the right side to see the full
image. He may be the man standing outside. It looks like it was also a Post Office.

Very good info.

I gather that it is very expensive to get a copy of Lily's documents in the UK.

Thank you again

Hi,

I am not familiar with Scottish documents, perhaps a post on the Scotland board. They will be able to give you some advice/guidance etc.

Rosie - thank you for your posts. I have already seen the documents you mention and been on Scotlandspeople.

When I said documents earlier I meant Quarriers records relating to her movement from Scotland. I understand they charge a substantial amount for copies. I am not paying for it frankly.

Thank you again.
