Find Ancestors

I'm trying to trying to trace any relatives of Florence who married John Leigh Thomson on (Valentines Day) 14th February 1932 in Cloverdale Vancouver. BC. I've checked the church for any details but no records are held there.

Any help would be great. :-)

David.

Hi David,

If you go here:

and just put Layhe as surname I think you'll find some answers.

Thanks to Maureenin NY and Aviega, I've a pile of info regarding Canada/America.

Now, has anyone any ideas where I can find details if Florence Miriam and John Leigh Thomson had any children in Canada/America after 1932?

Cheers
David :-)

Hi David,

It says on both their Naturalization records (1956) that there were no children,so I doubt if they had any surprises after that. ;-)

Just out of interest-John is now spelling his name John Leys Thomson.

Maureen

Maureen.hi.

Is there any-where I can get copies of the Naturalization Records? Or are they on line?

David :-D

Hi David,

The records are on Ancestry.

I've tried to send you the first page of each one via PM.

For some reason Ancestry won't let me copy the second pages as they are not indexed???? :-S

Maureen

Maureen, on the unindexed images - above the box that says the image can't be saved to your tree because it's not indexed there should still be a link that says "Save to my computer ...."

It's very misleading because it makes it reads as though it can't be saved at all but the save link does work.

Thanks,MC! I just tried again and didn't get the not indexed warning this time. :-S :-S

I like your method of using the Keepsafe feature. Good idea!

I don't really use my Keepsafe Mo as I only keep a basic tree on here in case of useful contacts, so thought I might as well put it to use seeing as GR don't allow attachments to posts (it's a faff sending messages).

Nice thank you received from David.
