Scottish relatives

[Qwackers]

I don't remember seeing Margeret on the Scottish census , wondering if she stayed with Granparents in England . When they left for Scotland ? I think I remember you saying that she have been born before William and Ellen got married . But I will still check .

I don't remember any of them appearing on a Scottish census! Which one was that? Margaret is with her parents in 1851 and 1861. I've not looked after that for her.

William Grimshaw married Ellen Calland 11 Mar 1844 at All Saints Wigan.

As well as the three children born in Scotland mentioned earlier in this thread (William, James and Ellen) I came across this post from kiterunner dated 17 Sep 2012:

Lancs BMD has a birth for Margaret Grimshaw in 1845, sub-district Hindley, mother's maiden name Calland. Also an Elizabeth in 1847, James 1849, Elizabeth 1851, Cecily 1861 and Peter 1865.

So, none of them born before the marriage.

There's also - Mary Grimshaw b 1862 mmn Calland Wigan District in addition to the above. So:

Margaret 1845 Lancs
Elizabeth 1847 Lancs Buried: 4 Feb 1849 Wigan, All Saints, states age 18 months, abode Ince and father William Grimshaw
James 1849 Lancs Died: GRIMSHAW JAMES aged 6 mmn CALLAN 1855 662/ 55 District Bathgate
Elizabeth 1851 Lancs Died: GRIMSHAW, ELIZABETH aged 0 GRO Reference: 1851 S Quarter in WIGAN UNION Volume 21 Page 536

Ellen 1858 Scotland
Cecily 1861 Lancs Died: GRIMSHAW, CECILY aged 0 GRO Reference: 1861 J Quarter in WIGAN Volume 08C Page 42
Mary 1862 Lancs
Peter 1865 Lancs

Which one is your ancestor? William 1854? Which ones, other than him, have you already traced forward?

William Grimshaw. 1854 he is my great great grandfather , I have found a marriage for James , Williams Williams brother , he married a emma Wilson and am following there children at the moment , I have found a daughter named Lavinia who married in Wigan . Thanks

[Merry]

I have found a daughter named Lavinia who married in Wigan . Thanks

She and her husband and son emigrated to Canada in 1924.

[Qwackers]

Hi that's strange as my dad said he had been to Canada , and I wondered why he went ? They could be the reason . I'll have to double check if it's the right person . I don't think Lavinia was a common name so that may help . Thanks

[Qwackers]

hi can we find out anymore about them ? Thanks

[Qwackers]

Hi , I found Lavinia on family search as her birth , but it also said her death was in London Middlesex Ontario . This could be her .

[Qwackers]

Hi , can we access any immigration records for Canada . I saw some on family search but the were only to 1820 . Any ideas ? Thanks

I don't have any worldwide subs at the moment.

There are several trees on Ancestry with the same information that may or may not be correct:

Lavinia Sharples death 11 Feb 1959 London Middlesex Ontario Canada
John Sharples death 10 Mar 1976 London, Ontario, Canada
Henry Sharples death 31 Aug 1997 London, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada

They also have Henry Sharples marrying Jean Gertrude Brown in May 1940 (no place recorded) and her birth and death: 21 Jan 1917 Westminster Township, Ontario, Canada and 25 May 2008 London, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada

James (1856) had seven other surviving children in 1911 so plenty of people to follow forward. There may also be families for Margaret (1845), Ellen (1858), Mary (1862) and Peter (1865).
