Find Ancestors

I was wondering if anyone could do a search for John Barlow and Fred Barlow. All I know is that they both emigrated, one went to Winnipeg in Canada and the other went to America. They went around the years 1920. They would of been in their 20's. Their parents were called Levi and Hannah Barlow ( they did not emigrate with their boys).

Thank you

Where were they living before emiragting?

They lived in Heywood, England. I think John may have been married to a Marian.

Do you know their occupations, or their father's occupation, please?

I think this is the family in 1901.

Alviegal, Fred's age matches up. I wonder if it is the same person? There is a Social Security Death Record for George, but I didn't want to post everything I see, in case this isn't the correct family.

Can't find John anywhere. It certainly sounds like Fred Lisa. Will keep looking.

This describes George Webber Barlow, but after a quick glance, I didn't see anything about his parents:
http://academic-senate.berkeley.edu/memoriam/documents/Barlow_approved.pdf

Also:
"...SERVICE George WEBBER Barlow 22 recently graduated from the Coast Guard Academy New London Conn with the rank of ensign in the Coast Guard Reserve is leave and ing his parents Mr and Mrs Fred Barlow 304 St Joseph Ave..."
(cannot display site...found when googling "George Webber Barlow")

Photo of him:

Alviegal, if you're still here, do you see Fred's birth in England, please?

This could be Fred, mentioned in the 1930 census:
Fred Barlow
Last Residence: Long Beach, California
Born: 13-May-1893
Died: July 1976

Jessie Barlow
Birth Date: 25-Dec-1896
Birthplace: Other Country
Death Date: 14-July-1980
Death Place: Alameda
Mother's Maiden Name: Charnock
Father's Surname: Kenny
Alameda is both a city and county. Berkeley is in the County of Alameda. Jessie may have moved to the "Bay Area" after her husband died.

There is further information about this family.

Sorry Lisa, went off to my bed. These are the births I would go with, don't have dates unfortunately.

Hi and thank you all for all your help so far. Yesterday I phoned my dad to see if I had the bit of information right. He said he knew that was in Winnipeg and the other was in California (but think they both went to Winnipeg first). He also said that one of their children was a Professor (must of been Fred's child). Imagine my suprise when I read the info you have all given.
As for the census 1901 (UK) my dads grandad was called Levi and his mother was called Lena. I know that there was also an Edith as I used to visit her in Heywood when I was a child.

Do you happen to have any info on the marriage of Fred and Jessie as I think they may of been married in Bury or Rochdale England before they went away.

Also if there was a marriage for John Barlow.

Thank you

Lorraine

George was definatly my dads cousin. I have just spoken to my uncle to confirm this. He went to america once to visit him. I am going to try and get alittle more info from my aunt about John Barlow as my uncle says she used to write to him when she was young ( but she keeps getting alittle confused with names)
