Hi,
I´m looking for my great grandparents who emigrated from Great Britain to Argentina. James Main born 1827 most likely in Irland or Skottland And might have emigrated in mid-1800 to Argentina. He married Susane/Juanna Levi or Leiva born around 1830 could be anywhere in the UK. They were agricultures in Entre Rios Argentina. What I want to know is more from the British background before they emigrated.
Grateful for anything who can spread light on this.
Kind regards Anahi Börde

Hi and thanks for a quick response.
I have found some possibilities in some English/Britsih census, but hard to match them as I can´t find any travel documents.
As far as I know, they emigrated separately and meet in Argentina.
In Argentina (Province of Entre Rios) they had several children:
1.Carlos Main born 1857
2.Catalina Main - 1859
3.Susan Main - 1867
4.Santiago Main -1870
5.Juana Natalia Main Levi -1872
6.Guillermo Main -1876
7.Carolina Main -1879- [I][I]This is my greatgrandmother.....if my investigation is correct.
8.Elisabeth or Eugenia Main -18??
9.Maria Main - 18??

using FamilySearch
when a Susana Main (born 1867) married Victor Colignon at Entre Rios on 20 January 1891 her parents are given as Santiago & Susana Main
well I've just learnt that Santiago is the Spanish equivalent of James

I see Santiago (James) Main - aged 68 - on the Argentine 1895 census with wife Susana LEVE/LEVO (?) - aged 56 and two children Guillermo, 19, and Maria (?), 14 (?)
it looks as if in Argentine records wives keep their maiden names (?)

I think our Swedish friend has a public tree on Ancestry suggesting that Susannah LEVI was born at Saffron Walden on 9 September 1833 (which would make her only 6 years younger than her husband ?)
the suggested name Juana LEIVA (opening post above) comes from a baptism in Chile on 6 February 1833.
if the ages on the 1895 census are correct I think James's wife was born c.1839.
