Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 5,276 Send Message	Thanks very much Bascat, but I'm not sure that this is the same family as his wife was Sarah and the children's names are not the same. My family were still in England in 1889 and they then went to USA after a few years in Canada, where I have them in 1910. Christine

Once you have established which vessel and date, you can also search their passenger list info. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/passenger/001045-130-e.html I will nudge a thread up for you to request lookup bye Helen Brisbane OZ
