Please could someone look up Sam and Annie Hill. Children, Arthur, Horace, Violet and Ada.
They went to Canada. It would have been after 1901 as Ada was 2 on 1901 census. They came from Leicester.
Thank you,
Sue

I have been looking, but I can't find this family on the passenger lists for Canada.

Can't find them on the 1911 census in Canada.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Sue,

Without dates and ages it wont be possible to find him on the passenger lists. George James is not an uncommon name and there are loads of them.

I have to agree with Sue, Sue. I can't find anything. I had a look at Ontario Vital Statistics for birth of Olive but nothing shows. Also can't find them on 1911 census. Sorry.

Thank you once again for all your help.
I have some notes on some papers that have been passed down to me and it mentions these people going to Canada. No one is now alive to check it all out. I will have to try and forget about them for the time being.
Thanx Sue
