Having the dates is great, but getting to see the obituaries will be even better.

Re: Scots immigrant death in Canada

Thanks Wilma. She lived in Toronto, Canada. She had no children of her own, but I believe they did raise their niece’s child as their own. I don’t know when she died, though I remember dad mentioning she had died, but can’t remember when. I met her once maybe around 1965 when she visited her relativ...

Re: Scots immigrant death in Canada

Thanks, Wilma. I have all of her marriage and emigration details and all of the family details too. She was my grandmother’s sister. She most certainly died in Canada. I have managed to get other death notices for relatives who emigrated to America through Ancestry, but can’t get Cecilia’s. I am a m...

Re: Scots immigrant death in Canada

Re-above question. I know Cecilia Geoghan (Scanlan) died sometime after around 1964 as I remember her coming over to Scotland to visit when I was a child.

She was born in Partick, Glasgow in 1895 and moved to Canada in 1923. I thought it would come up easily in A...

Royal Navy Records

Hope someone can point me in the right direction. All of my fathers older brothers served in the army in WW2 except one, who joined the navy. He survived the war and settled in England. I have looked for info on Ancestry and Find my Past, but no luck. Can anyone tell me please where I might get info...

Re: Ancestor death Queensland

Thank you so much for this, Alan. Thomas was still here in Scotland on the 1911 Census. We still (im)patiently await the 1921 census. It was due earlier this year but is now expected to be released towards the end of the year, fingers crossed. What was most helpful was being able to obtain his death...
