I am trying to find out where my great grandfather originates from and also his family ancestors. What I have so far that can be proven is:
Married Ann McKinnon 10/03/1882 in St. Columba's gaelic church (C.O.S.) Glasgow.
Died 13/03/1915 in 34 Blackburn Street, Glasgow.
1901 census on the "Gypsy" in Lamlash Bay Arran on the river Clyde with two of his sons.
On his marriage certificate it states father "Victor Julian Birdwisa seaman merchant service deceased" and mother "Mary Louisa Delony or Delany". The oral tradition in the family was that he was French Canadian or French!!
I have his B.O.T. seamans book No. 162967 whick covers has voyages from June 1901 to June 1905. It gives his birth as 1850 and born in Toronto. On the mormon site it gives him as born 1844 in France, no idea who gave that info. Over the years he became known as Augustas. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find more on him?
