Trying to find some details of my past relatives who emigrated to Canada. They are....

1. Simeon Dando b 1845 Dudley, Worcestershire, England

2, Winifred Dando (daur)b 1876 Stourbridge, Worcestershire.

3. Rupert Hill Dando (son)b 1880 Stourbridge, Worcestershire

I have all details of the three from birth upto and including the 1881 census. The wife and mother Fanny died in Dudley in 1885 so I am assuming father and children went to Canada between 1885 and the 1891 census as there is no record of the family in 1891.

Would appreciate any information relating to their movements and lives in Canada

Do you know where in Canada they went? And is there a chance they only "stopped over" in Canada? A lot of the youngest records in Canada are phonetically spelled so you should try using variations of the name and the * field for things you dont know. For example a last name that is Mac could be Mc Mac another example is with irish names where the name may or may start with O' - I've noticed my ancestors names have the O and sometimes not at all. I hope that all made sense. I find this site pretty good http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/pages/census.aspx but if you can narrow down a province you would find more. Let me know, I'm in Canada if you aren't!
