Find Ancestors

Sat Nav please ignore my previous statement about Passenger being 20 years out of date as im also trying to go further on his fathers side and ive got the year of his borth confused with his father and i believe you have found the right person as he was a engineer.
Thank you

I know i keep saying this but Thank you sooo much. I cant believe all this information i have been given in 24 hours. We always believed he died at sea and now this. Margaret that link you gave me is the information my auntie recieved yesterday that gave us the shocking news that he had infact emigrated. On behalf of my Grandma we are trying to piece every detail together as John was her Grandfather who left her mother behind. I know we will never know the full reason why he left but id just like to be able to tell my Grandma what he did.
Margaret i would deffenetly say that his 2nd marriage was his as all the information is spot on about him and his parents.
Sat Nav i dont think the passenger list is him as the DOB is about 20 years out but i do believe the Border Crossing him looking at the information is given.
Can we buy Candian certs do you know?
Once ive got my head round all this information you have all given me i will start to look for any children but i think i better go through all this first lol
Once again thank you
Catherine

Hi Margaret
That is a brilliant find.A wealth of information and several people researching the same family.

This is interesting! Says he married a second time in Canada:

Yes they are Margaret....i had that census i was just intrigued with what happened to John and now we can narrow down the dates espically with the census information you gave me. He had to have left the UK 1889-1901. We thought he had died at sea and find out today he went to canada and married twice. You ever get so exicted by all this new information but get angry for the family he left behind even though you never met them. lol
Thanks again

Is this your family?
1871 census
Relubbus? Highway, Saint Hilary, Cornwall
Martin Trewhella, head, 29, farmer of 34 acres employing 1 man, born Ludgvan
Elizabeth, wife, 32, born Crowan
John, son, 5, born Ludgvan
Norvah?, dau, 3, born "
Elizabeth Hoskins, dau, 3 months, born St. Hilary
Plus 2 servants.

Thank you Thank you Thank you
I didnt even know these websites existed i suppose maybe because ive never needed to know. I now have something to work with. I find it amazing how we have to pay to look at the UK census but not at a candian one lol
thank you again
Catherine

The 1901 census in Canada has a John Trewhella, age 35, born England. he's in MacKenzie, Unorganized territories. Is he your man?

Thank you Glitterbaby/Joy/Margaret, this information has actually given me more than i could have imagined so thank you all. A noteable absence is one of their sons who i am a direct descendant from, which has helped me narrow down then when he may have disappeared (abandoned his family to canada).
Thank you again you have given me so much to work with.
kind regards
Catherine

Hi I was wondering if someone could do a 1901 census look up for me please.
Im looking for a Martin Trewhella born 1841 possibly in Ludgvan Cornwall. Would possibly be living with a Elizabeth Trewhella was was born 1838.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards

Catherine
