Could anyone help with a immigration for Thomas Holmes
Born in the 1880s lived in Workington CUMBERLAND
Sailed on the REGINA ship and was in Canada for sure in 1929
Has we have a postcard from him
Thank you
Could have lived North Side Workington

There is one departure on the Regina……but that Thomas Holmes was only 17 in 1929

What research have you carried out? Have you looked for him on censuses in England?

‘Born in the 1880’s’ is a bit vague………have you looked for a birth registration?

Did he marry? Produce offspring?

Where in Canada did he settle?

To whom did he send the postcard?

SS Regina made first commercial voyage in 1922

Thank you
The postcard was sent to his niece

NAME please……….and address.. Also the names of her parents

We can’t help if you don’t give us FACTS

Two further transcribed sailings on Regina

Thos Holmes aged 52 in 1926……who didn’t sail….and Thos Holmes aged 51 in 1926

NOT him…UK address Hoylake

EDITED

Only one sailing as both records are for the same family

UK address for the 17-year old in 1929 was Taylors Court, Denton St Carlisle

He was Thomas William and his parents were William John and Mary

Lived in Workington, but is that where he was born?

Cockermouth RD covers Workington - there are 9 births 1880-1890 in that RD - 6 are Thomas only and 3 have other given names. Do you know who his parents were to pinpoint him.

Can you place him in any census?

More info on the chap from the 1929 crossing.......just in case
