Find Ancestors

Hi mgnv - thanks for that information I have been trying that site now for about 2 years don't think the marriage records are ever going to appear

Sheila

hi Maureen, thanks for that immigration information I have Fred on the English 1901 census where he is shown as a Bricklayers Labourer so I am almost certain the F Rolfe you have found is him

Sheila

If they got wed in SK, then you're currently out of luck:

Marriages (more than 75 years ago.) Not yet available. Work on this index will commence after the index of deaths has been completed.

https://www.isc.ca/VitalStatistics/Genealogy/vsgs_srch.aspx

This is the only likely one I see for Fred:
Name: F Rolfe
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Estimated birth year: abt 1886
Date of Arrival: 28 Mar 1906
Vessel: Corean

Port of Arrival: Halifax, Nova Scotia
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Roll: T-500
Says he's a bricklayer from Bucks going to Winnipeg.

Maureen

I have a copy of the Registration of Death for Beatrice, her date of birth was given as Feb 29th 1880 and she had been in Canada for 60 years

On the death registration for Fredrick in 1963 also in British Columbia it gives his date of birth as June 6th 1885 , place of birth Buckinghamshire, England, and that at time of death he had been in Canada for 55 years

Hi
Margaret & Maureen - Thanks for all the look ups

Beatrice & Frederick as far as I know married in Canada, I have found her immigration record for 1909 and it says she was going out to Canada to marry (her maiden name was Blomfield) I can't find any marriage record for them in the UK.

Sheila

There's 57 Rolfe's listed in the CEF at:

I also see:
Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935
Name: Beatrice Marion Rolfe

Age: 40
Estimated birth year: abt 1885
Birth Country: England
Date of Arrival: 7 Mar 1925

Both going home to Glenavon Sask. Looks as though they were in the UK for 2 months. Relative is listed as father Charles Rolfe Waddesdon.

Under the "If in Canada before" column it reads 1906-1925.


Maureen

The 1911 Canadian census also has a Charles Rolfe in Qu'Appelle, SK. ( brother of Fred?)
Charles is 22, born Apr.1889, England and emigrated 1911.

There's also a Willim Rolfe, same place, age 32, born May 1879, England and emigrated 1905.

I'm having the same problem, Maureen, I can't find him anywhere in Canada on the 1901 census.

I'm having a bit of a problem with Fred's year of immigration. I know it says 1896,but I don't believe it.

He's the one from Waddesdon isn't he??? Did he and Beatrice marry in the UK?

There's a Marion Beatrice Rolfe who died in British Columbia 26 Dec. 1968, White Rock, age 87, making her born 1881.

Is there anyone with access to the above records who could do a look up for me.
