i wonder if anyone can tell me how i might go about finding info about a relative who was born in canada in about 1883 ?

i was very excited to find my great grandmother on the 1911 census this morning and have realised why i couldn't find her mother in all the time i've been doing this.. she was apparently born in canada ..

i know she was in fulham in 1903 because thats where she married my GGGF but i don't know how to find her before that,,, i

thanks.. the site seems to be having problems at the moment .. i'll try it later

Do you know which province she was from, Sandra? There are different sites with BMD's for different provinces.
BTW. Automated Genealogy is up and running again.

thanks ..

all it says on 1911 ensus is birthplace ; canada

i couldn't work out the automated genealogy site .. i'll have to keep trying.

i've trawled through all the annie warners, and emily warners on the british 1901 census but none born in canada... i'm presuming she was here in 1901 as she married in 1903... i was so looking forward to the 1911 census so i could find her ... typical!

how do you feel about putting some details on here in case someone can find what you are looking for?

Ann

I would suggest you buy her marriage certificate so you can get her father's name.
I presume she's Annie Emily Warner who married in 1903 in Fulham?

thanks guys ...

i have her marriage cert and her daughter (my GGM)'s birth cert .. both of which say her name is

annie emily warner (kidney by marriage)

she was married in 1903 to sidney walter kidney in fulham london (both their addresses listed as 26 harwood terrace)

her father at time of marriage was deceased .. he was william warner , occupation, attendant at asylum .

on the 1911 census, she is just emily kidney, age 27, born in canada

would be VERY grateful for any help or tips

I can't see her on either the 1901 UK census or the Canadian one.

no nor could i margaret .. thanks for looking //

ann .. i don't think she was born in 1881

i'm so disappointed now .. i had been putting so much stock on the 1911 being the key to finally finding her and hers

well don't get too downhearted here Sandra, early days yet - hang in there and see what turns up!!

Ann

What about incoming passenger lists to UK. I know they're available now but I don't have access.

that's the 1881 census by the way, not dob!!

But, Ann, she wasn't born until 1883 and didn't become a Kidney till she married one in 1903.

fair enough - I am really dull at sums!!!!

thankyou .. i really do appreciate your taking time to look for me ... i'll keep plodding on

Sandra, I had somewhat the same problem. While searching my ancestors, I knew one ancestor was born in "England" (THAT narrows down the search, eh)? Luckily, I knew where (in Canada) he was buried and upon writing to the manager at the cemetery office, I found out more details about him which included Place of Birth: Hatfield, England. While that narrowed down the search, there were 7 Hatfields in England in the 1820's. :(

Anyway, is it possible to write to where she is buried, in hopes that her actual place of birth would be mentioned?

I cannot view the record:
Border Crossings: From Canada to U.S., 1895-1956
Name Arrival Date Estimated Birth Year Port of Arrival
Ann E Warner date year St John, New Brunswick, Canada

Could this be Annie, on her way to England?

Could be coincidental, since Warner is a common name:
William H Warner date year St John, New Brunswick, Canada

Perhaps someone has access to the (limited) 1891 Canadian census?

thanks lisa .. that looks quite promising .. i don't have access to the passenger lists ... have been debating whether to pay per view but not knowing where to start had thought i might ask if anyone could find any leads first.

I had a look at Canada 1891 (April). However, there weren't any likely hits for Emily.
