    Default Canadian records

    Hi

    Does anyone have information as how I could find a relative who went to Canada in the early 1900's.

    Maurice George Burrows, was born in 1881 in Gloucestershire and nobody heard from him after he left the family home.

    thanks in anticipation

    I have found him on a passenger list arriving on the Lake Ontario at St John New Brunswick from Liverpool on 10 Apr 1903:

    M G Burrows, 21, farmer, b. Gloucester, final destination Brandon (Manitoba).

    The entire page lists young men going to Manitoba. The letters B L are beside most of their names, which I think indicates some kind of organized immigration scheme (British Land?).

    After that.....he does seem to disappear. I've checked the 1906 & 1911 Canadian census, 1910 US census, Manitoba vital statistics records.
