Find Ancestors

Hello,

I'm looking for a William Coldrick who was living in Windsor, Ontario in 1920. I don;t have access to international ancestry so I just wondered if anyone could have a look and see if there are any records relating to someone of this name who would have been alive in 1920.

My interest is due to an inscription I have found in a book sent to Miss Marie Elgar by William Coldrick and I am trying to trace its history.

Many thanks for your help,
Elissa

Hello Elissa, do you know anything more about Marie Elgar so we can see if we can find a connection?

This could be the 1901 census for the 1906 arrival that Margee posted:

COLDRICK, John Head Married M 38 1863 Leather Dresser Bermondsey, London
COLDRICK, Elizabeth Wife Married F 35 1866 Bermondsey
COLDRICK, William Son M 14 1887 Fruiterers Assistant Bermondsey
COLDRICK, Elizabeth Daughter F 12 1889 Bermondsey
COLDRICK, Nellie Daughter F 9 1892 Bermondsey
COLDRICK, Alice Daughter F 7 1894 Worcester, Worcestershire
COLDRICK, John Son M 4 1897 Worcester, Worcestershire
COLDRICK, Annie Daughter F 1 1900 Worcester, Worcestershire

Piece: 2782 Folio: 34 Page: 26
Registration District: Worcester
Civil Parish: Worcester

Address: Wakeman Street, Worcester County: Worcestershire

I'm afraid I don't know anything else, other than Marie Elgar was a Miss in 1920.

On that 1901 census does the birthplace of Worcester refer to Worcester in England or USA? I only ask as the book was found in a Worcestershire school, and so there may be a connection to the area.

The book itself is 'The Poetical Works of William Henry Drummond" published 1912.

Thank you all for your help.
