Hi

I wonder if some kind person could do a look up for Border Crossing From Canada to US.

Hardy Coomber born 1849.

I found this one on Ancestry for UK Passenger lists which I believe is my Hardy Coomber.

Name: Hardy Comber
Birth Date: abt 1849
Age: 79
Port of Departure: Montréal, Québec, Canada
Arrival Date: 22 Jul 1928 aged 79
Port of Arrival: London, England
Ports of Voyage: Plymouth
Ship Name: Alaunia
Search Ship Database: View the 'Alaunia' in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database
Shipping Line: Cunard Line

On the original scanned copy it says his residence is 18 The Wall, Milton, Kent and he is listed as a Seaman.

Thank you Nicola
:-)

Hi

Thank you for information, but its the Border crossings from Canada to US that I would like and any other information ie arrival in Canada/US. I have details of his arrival back in England in 1928 and wanted some more information on that.

I would like to prove/disprove that the Hardy Coomber that I found is my Ancester. The Hardy Coomber in my tree born 1849 Milton.

Thanks

These records always give port of arrival as St. Albans, Vermont. That's just where the records were kept. I wish they would fix it so that it shows the actual port of arrival.

Thank you very much for all the information that you have given me margee and Choccy, i really appreciate it.

I think that pretty much confirms that they are my ancestors, I have wrote down all the information that you have given. I am fascinated by how much info there is, is the most that has been found on 1 group of relies am 1 happy bunny lol. It will certainly keep me busy for a while. Looks like at some stage more research is required for around Canada and US.

Thanks again to you both
