Hello All Did your Cornish ancestors migrate and possibly return to the UK to visit, on a business trip or even return permanently between 1878-1960? If they did, then I am happy to do a look up to see if there are any records. Information I would need is full name and year of birth, place of birth can be helpful too. Bonus extras would be...... Place of Departure (Country) and occupation if known. Extra, extra bonus info would of course be if you knew the year they returned for whatever reason but just cannot access the records. If I find something and think it looks a good possible then I can scan and send you the images. Best regards HeatherC

It would be interesting if you could find out anything about the following:- Robert Davies born 1900 Newlyn, Trewarveneth St/Belle Vue as poss address. Isobel Copeland born about 1900 either Merriton Ontario or Edinburgh (Scots-Canadian)- was Robert's wife. Robert John Davies born 1920 Belle Vue Newlyn Graham - born USA/Canada June - born USA/Canada Barbara - born USA/Canada The family came back to Conwall in the 1930's during the depression. It seems as if Thomas Ellis Davies (Robert's younger brother) came back around 1935 so that might be a good starting point.
In case your wondering, Robert John Davies, my grandfather, was born in Cornwall. His mother was put in a ship early 1920 so the firstborn son could be born in Cornwall! That is the reason that was told to me by my proud Cornish grandfather. No sooner was Isobel well enough than they returned to North America. The younger children, I believe were all born in either the US or Canada. Debrett's gives Isobel Copeland, d/o the late Robert James Copeland as being of Merriton Ontario, if that helps.
PS Is Akron a long way from New York in American terms?

Hi Isambard Have found a two "returns" to the UK for Andrew Dunstan Quick, one on 29 December 1919 and another for 5 December 1948 from Montreal on "Empress of Canada", port of arrival, Liverpool, and with him on that trip is Phillipa C and Mary Gwen. (Funny, I found this second entry before you posted your "add ons" ) James Dunstan Quick I have found one return in 14 Jan 1915 on board the "Sicilian" but there are very few details, the name recorded is just James Quick, but sadly no intended address for where he was to stay..... so may or may not be your man. One more for a James Quick arriving 20 August 1914 aboard the "Calgarian". Nothing for a Phillipa as Trewhella but as above in 1948. John Newton......... afraid it is only the incoming I can check, not the out-going I've found a Jean Quick born 11/10/1917 sailed in on the "Franconia" May 1955 arriving at Liverpool and giving intended address as Stoke on Trent. Sending you a pm so that we can arrange for me to send you the images if you would like them Best regards Heather

Sending you a pm so that we can arrange for me to send you the images if you would like them Best regards Heather My James Quick was the farmer arriving 14 January 1915. That information was particularly interesting as a note by his mother in the Quick family Bible said he had arrived in Canon's Town 15 January 1914 and left 11 May 1915, a puzzlingly long stay given the Great War in progress. However the 4 in 1914 had been overwritten on top of what now is more clearly a 5. Also a note regarding his brother Andrew's return had been corrected from 1920 to 1919. Perhaps their mother was updating the Bible as the senior Quicks packed up in preparation to emigrate to Canada, as they did in 1920, and the stress took its toll on her memory. Yes, that is Jean Quick, the daughter of James Dunstan and Frances Maude (Harrison) Quick. How is it you were able to find these folks so "quickly", a website? Is the search information digitized, allowing you to zero in on images - as with Ancestorsonboard.com for outgoing sailings?

Is this offer still available? If so, could lyou please tell me more about my husband's father, Albert Pearce, ;who was born in South Africa, July 1913. The family were from Tuckingmill at the time, I think and they moved back home when he was approx 2/3 years. His sister Olga also born in South Africa. There seemed o be some sort of mystery about how many of the family came home (someone going missing) so I would really appreciate it if you could tell me when they came back and by which vessel

Wow CT you certainly have given me a lot to be thinking about at the moment. So tghee three of them came back without my husband's grandfather.
Is there any chance you could have another look and see if there were any Richards on the same passage. Also, Thomas John Pearce on a later passage, his next son was born in 1917 so he cannot have been too long in following his family home. Also were there any Richards with him? Especially a Richard C Richards or Charlie, who seems to have vanished from the face of the earth around this time. So that is the story as I heard it.
Thanks so muc for the info so far
