Bradshaw of Condor, Alberta (also Bassano connection)

mlskjk56 — 11 Oct 2008 7:36:04 GMT

I'm not actually related, but have a connection. The reason that I'm looking for relatives is because my father had some old pictures that aren't marked and I think that they relate to this family. My paternal grandfather was married to the sister of Alf Sr., back in England, where she died. My grandfather homesteaded in Alberta in 1909. He and my grandmother continued the relationship with the Bradshaw family. The Bradshaws came to Canada in 1911, first to Bassano, then to Hutton and Condor.

Alfred Bradshaw Sr. - died 1956, I think at Condor
Rebecca 'Flo' Bradshaw - died 1975, I think at Rocky Mountain House - buried there or Condor

Alfred Bradshaw Jr. - died 1980 and his wife, Lila (also died 1980) I think are buried at Hespro Cemetery near Condor

Percy Bradshaw (died 1975) and his wife, Evelyn (died 1988) - I think at Condor

Ethel Bradshaw (died after 1987) who was married to Clayton Galarneau, who died about 1987. They lived in Bassano.

Florence Bradshaw (died about 1989) who was married to David Jefferies and they lived in Calgary.

Charlie Bradshaw (died about 1984) and was married to Verna. I think they lived at Condor.

Adelbert Perrier, 1913, south end barbershop, Red Deer

peggyc2sky — 27 Apr 2008 5:22:44 GMT

Hello,
Adelbert, who went by Albert sometimes, owned the South End Barbershop in 1908. In 1913, his children were taken away by the Dept. On Neglected Children in edmonton. I remember seeing a newspaper article to this effect at one time and cannot find it again. There were 3 children involved-Thelma, Effie, and Edmond. I would like to know more about this event. Could anyone help find the article in probably the Edmonton Journal or Sun? I know that the mother had the children in 1912 but they had been separated for some time. I cannot find Adelbert on the 1906 or 1911 Censuses. At some point, Albert married Maude Bench and from what I understand, she looked after the children very well. I don't have any details on that marriage. Albert is supposed to have died July 9, 1953 but I don't know where.
Must be near Red Deer. I don't know about Maude's death.
I would be grateful for any help.

Hope I have the correct board.

My late Grandmothers BOLTWOOD relatives emigrated to Canada in 1905. In 1906 and 1911 Census they are in Manitoba.

BOLTWOOD Florence Matilda (nee Bogg) born 1870 in London UK
Grandmothers Aunt.

Children of Henry and Florence:

BOLTWOOD Charles Gordon born 1898 in London UK
? died in Florida USA ?

BOLTWOOD Frank Augustus born 1903 in London UK
Married = Evelyn nee?
Children ?

Two of Florences sisters also emigrated:
Hilda Agnes Bogg = Harry WEBB died in Winnepeg - followed that line and did not get far. but better than nothing!
and
Dorothy BOGG born 1890 London UK - Dorothy is on 1911 Census
Did she marry? She is on the 1911 Census

I would be grateful to be pointed in right direction to find any more children or grandchildren etc.

msrogers01 — 9 Dec 2007 10:38:29 GMT

I have been able to track Harrison Herrick Scott, also known as Harriston Herrick Scott (Alberta census) born in 1850 in Cass County, MI, in the 1906 Alberta Canada census and in the 1900 Blaine, Pierce, NB census with 8 of the 11 children. In the 1906 Alberta census, Townships 35,36 in Ranges 24, 25, 26, 27 West of the 4th M, Sub-district 30A he is found with all 11 children.

In 1906 his daughter Mamie married William Henry Rogers born in Exbourne, Devon, England in 1883. They moved to Endicott, WA in about 1906-7.

Gust Nelson

Edwass — 22 Oct 2007 1:35:33 GMT

I'm looking for Gust Nelson born in Sweden 1871 who came to N.America 1892.

The man I'm looking for could have changed his name from Gustaf Salomonsson, his father's name was Nilsson and it is possible that he used that name, but spelled Nelson.

Gustaf Salomonsson was born in Hulu, Bosebo parish, Jönköpings län feb 25, 1871. He travelled with his brother Axel and came to Ellis Island, NY May 9, 1892 with steamer "SERVIA". He is listed in Ellis Island records as "Gust. Solomonson".

I found a Gust Nelson in Red Deer, AB and seeking this way to determine if it might be the man I'm looking for.

He had some contact with a niece in Sweden who lived in either "Håcksvik" or "Våthult" so if anyone recognizes those names from letters or postcards please write. I know that 'my' Gust lived in Alberta and had two sons, at least one served in WW II. That is all I know at the moment.

Looking for SHEFFIELD family in Red Deer County, Alberta

Diggergirl — 19 Aug 2007 6:51:10 GMT

Wondering if anybody has info on the surname SHEFFIELD in and around Innisfail and Bowden?

Specifically 3 brothers and a sister all born in Hastings County Ontario circ 1870's who moved first to Calgary by the 1911 census but then it would seem they spread out from there?

James Clayton Sheffield & wife Blanche
John Elton Sheffield & wife Hattie
Royal Delbert Sheffield & wife Clara
Keitha Maria Sheffield...

An 'R D Sheffield' was a funeral director in Innisfail in around the 1930's...wondering if he was by chance Royal Delbert Sheffield? And a Keitha Sheffield married a Keir Bernard in Bowden circa 1915?

Anybody have anything?

I would appreciate a hand

A question

Jeff Long — 28 Dec 2005 5:54:14 GMT

Hi, my name is Jeff Long and I used to live in Wainwright, Alberta but now currently live in Fort St. John, B.C. One of my best friends, Allison Luk, currently lives there in Red Deer, however during my
moving into a new place, around the same time she was, we lost contact with each other, and I've sent a letter to her old adress, in hopes that it'd get passed on to her new adress, but that was months ago and
I still have no heard a reply.

I was wondering if there was anyone who, if I provided some ifnormation to, would be able to see if her, or anyone from her family still lives at a certian adress.

Her name is Allison Luk, 20 years old, has a younger sister named Savanna Luk who is I think 19, maybe 18 years old. Their mom, who's name I don't know, has a boyfriend who's name is (I think) Dave, however I don't know his last name.

I know this isn't the usual kind of question you people get on these boards, but if anyone can help me out, that'd be extreamly great. I have a couple of her old adresses, so if someone would be willing to see if ehr or her family still lives at either of them, and give them my contact info, then please e-mail me at desperado.newfie@gmail.com

Any help is GREATLY apprechiated.

I am hoping to find someone who can tell me something about my grandmother's side of the family. My Grandmother's maiden name was Viola Meyer(s?). She was born in Red Deer, Alberta and married Samuel Lemuel Barkley (possibly in Red Deer?). I am hoping to find out her parents' names and where they are from. Does anyone know anything about this family? My grandmother had a sister named Christine, who I believe is still living. Her last name would be Mayhew now.

Emigration to Red Deer circa 1895 what was it like?

emma2002 — 12 Nov 2005 4:50:09 GMT

Hello

I am trying to figure out the in and outs of travel to Red Deer from England in about 1895. I have a single man who has gone out there with no land and then returned in 1897 to marry and take his new wife back to Red Deer.

I know that the population of Red Deer at that time was less than 200, and it must have been an incredible adventure to go and live there not to mention the hardships people must have suffered.

I am having trouble finding out what life was like and where people would have sailed to. There is a lot on information on the internet but I am overwhelmed by it and also don't have the basic facts yet so don't know what to look for!

Can anyone advise me as to where to look? I would love to know
Which Port would have been the likely one of arrival for Alberta
How long it took to sail from England ( how much ?)
Generally what life would have been like!

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!

Thanks
Emma

Roberts family 1890-

emma2002 — 12 Nov 2005 4:50:09 GMT

Hi

Looking for information on Albert Ernest Roberts possibly an underwriter born in East Sussex UK circa 1870 and his wife Olive Maud. Albert emmigrated to Canada and set up home in Red Deer before returning to the Uk to marry Olive. The couple moved to Red Deer in 1898 where Olive gave birth to their son Harold in 1899. Olive died in 1899 shortly after the birth of Harold. Albert appears to be in the UK again in 1901 where he appears on the census. I would love to know what became of Harold.

Thanks

Seeking relatives of Adolph Kohler born 16 December 1883

wrclriley — 11 Mar 2005 12:28:31 GMT

I am seeking information regarding my maternal Grandfather, Adolph Kohler. I understand he was born in England, although I understand his Father was German by birth. I further undestand that my Grandfather was employed as a lead glasier until he retired aged about 72. It is possible that he served with the British forces during world war one, possibly with the Middlesex Regiment. The information I have is sketchy, but I believe his father owned a bakery in south London, where my grandfather may have worked with his brother (possibly William) as a child.

Obit/cemetery lookup - Red Deer/Penhold, 1959

Karen — 27 Aug 2004 3:03:11 GMT

Hello List,

I am wondering if there is a cemetery transcript for Red Deer/Penhold, and who to request an obit look-up from?

William Richard Grant, age 32, and two sons William John Grant, age 5 and Douglas Richard Grant, age 3, died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning at a pmq at Red Deer, where William Sr. was in the air force, in the winter of 1959, likely around Christmas time. Mother Ruth was hospitalized, but survived, and had to move off the base as she was no longer a miltary dependent.

Any assistance will be appreciated.
