Hi all, Just an undate for you. I appreciate all the help I am getting with Miles, et al. I now have lots of stuff on Amy Davis from Bath. A woman located in Bath sent me tons of awesome names and dates. What a huge surprise that was! I must say, Miles HAD to have come to Canada in 1873, or pretty c...

Hi, there is another post somewhere with this subject if you wish to browse that. Right now, I am looking ONLY for pre-1873 data. I would particularly like to find a trans-Atlantic voyage for Miles which I estimate would have been very close to 1872. I heard some whispers in the family that he might...

Hi I have received a fabulous letter from a wonderful lady working in the Bath records library. I now have all kinds of family information for Amy Lillian Davis b1888. Once I get all this entered, I will be able to focus all my attention on poor Miles. He must be feeling a little neglected lately. B...

Hi

In the summer of 1934, she made a trip to bath. To Southampton, England on Montclare, Listed Destination: 8 Pierpont St., Bath.

Thank you. Yes, I already have the incoming (to Canada) record. What I really need is to work backwards. I know all about her life here in Canada. I would like her parents in England, birth location, etc. I think that's her in the birth index Bath Vol 5c P683, for all the good that does me. She had ...

Hi

Small addition to my previous post. Amy Lillian Davis b1888 in Bath came to Canada May 25 1906. I have found that on the Canadian incoming side but maybe it will be visible on the UK outgoing side by somebody who knows what they're doing.

Hi, thank you all again for your contributions. I am still searching for the parents and siblings of Miles Davis. Any other ideas to get UK data? I am also searching for info on the wife of Miles son John. She was also a Davis and was born in Bath in 1888. Her full name is Amy Lillian Davis b 28 Nov...

Thank you all. I have hits in Canada. I am more looking for stuff in the UK. I will continue this conversation with my post in the General section with the subject "Miles Davis b1852 England".

Hi, They are both born on Feb 20th, although the census are saying they are a year apart. Still, the most likely explanation is they are the same person. I found the baptism certificate and her name was definately Mary Ellen and she was born in 1889, not 1888 like Maud. I would like to concentrate o...

Hi Jimmy, I'm taking a while to get used to the "dying" thing. Boy, that's scary. I am having a hard time with the possibility that I had so many more relatives in that family than I thought. I had already run into two children that died. Elizabeth had a twin, Miles Davis that died at 13 d...

Thank you Jimmy. I believe you are right. It didn't look right at first but it's actually a pretty good looking hit. Sorry about that.

Hi all The 1881 census is not the right family, all the kids are wrong. The parents are so close though. Hard to believe. The note from Grangers14 is very interesting though. The 1891 census is the one that gave me most of the approximate birthdates for all the children, some of which I had. So, tha...

Hi, I'm sorry I have so little on the location. He came to Canada and is in the 1891 census. He married Helen or Ellen Redmond b1856 in Canada. Canadian children were Elizabeth b 13 Apr 1876 d 3 May 1944, Francis Lawrence b1878 d 14 Dec 1909, John b 29 May 1882 d 24 Sep 1931, Mary Ellen b 20 Apr 188...

Just checking in. I will immediately be looking for Miles Davis b 1852, married a Quebecer Helen and had five kids Elizabeth b1875, Francis Lawrence b1878, John b1882, Mary b1889 and RIchard b1893. I know Miles was born in England but very little else except for what I have put in here. Also, the wo...
