  • Ancestry Canada Records

    I have just had someone contact me about my Holvor/Holver family. I have been looking for Edith Holver for a while after being told she emigrated to Canada but haven't found her.

    I now know she probably emigrated in 1905 and on Ancestry I have found 3 possible records of an Edith Holver.

    2 in Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection) 1621 - 1967
    1 in Canadian Passengers Lists 1865 - 1935

    I only have the UK subscription on Ancestry so cannot look at it myself is there anyone that could give me the information held within these records in case it is the elusive Edith? Myself and her new to research Grandson will be very grateful.

    Regards
    Jill

    Thomas Steele
    Mary Ross

    Wm. Timberlake, minister

    2. Canadian Passenger Lists
