Knowles in Widnes
In 1904, the family immigrated to Canada. How would I find the information that you listed? (RG 13 3515 folio 112)

Lookup for Knowles in the 1881/1891 census
Would it be possible for someone to lookup James Knowles b. July 1862 or Elizah Knowles b. Sept 1871 in the 1881 or 1891 census for Widnes. I'm also looking for Marriage Registration for these two in the 1890, 1891, or 1892, as well as the birth registration for Ethel Knowles b. April 1893. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello...
My name is Malcolm (Mac) Knowles. I live in Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada. James Knowles was my grandfather. My father was Edward Knowles (died 1985), brother of Ethel. Another brother was William, another sister was Annie (died in Widnes in the 80's) and a half brother Thomas.
I've not done a lot of research but have never been able to get back past James, but would like to.

Hi Mac
It seems we are both searching for the same ancestors. I'm the grandson of Les and Ruby Owen from Hamilton. Ethel Knowles was my great grandmother. When my great aunt Gwen Buck passed away a few years ago, she left me all the old family photos. I have also been working with Helen Downey in Trenholme, Que. on family history. Contact me by email dalescott1965atgmaildotcom and I will share whatever I have.
Take care
