Looking for my GGGGrandmother's family.
Elizabeth Janet Evans born abt. 1836 Wales
married
James Kaye
Lived in England for birth of Three children
James S Kaye abt 1864
Ernest Edward Kaye abt 1866
Edith Adelaide Isabella Kaye abt 1868
immigrated to Vancouver Victoria City British Columbia before 1881
I've tried but with little success. Have you any idea where Elizabeth
was born in Wales?
The surname also appears to be problematic! I notice in the 1881
Canadian census they appear as KAGE:
1881 Canada Census
Yates Street Ward, Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia
James KAGE, Married, Male, Scottish, 49, Scotland, School Teacher,
Presbyterian
Elizabeth KAGE, Married, Female, Welsh, 45, Wales, Presbyterian
James S. KAGE, Male, Scottish, 17, England, Medical Student, Presbyterian
Ernest E KAGE, Male, Scottish, 15, England, Presbyterian
Edith A. J. KAGE, Female, Scottish, 13, England, Presbyterian
The family appear to have been living in the East End of London in the
late 1860s:
Ernest Edward KAYE, born 1865 Q4, Poplar
Edith Adelaide Isabella KAYE, born 1868 Q2, Poplar
but I can't find any of them on the 1861 or 1871 census for England or
Wales. Could they have gone back to Scotland or emigrated before 1871?
You may need to look at the Scottish census site at:
