George Theophilus Livingstone of Canada

Post by Canadian Livingstone »

Hi all,
A request for info from Andrew Lancaster for John Livingstone.
George Theophilus Livingstone born in Guyana came to Canada in the early 1900's, worked for the CPR railway and died at Montreal in the Province of Quebec in the 1980's. I have checked the 1901 and 1911 Census records and the 1921 census unfortunately wont be available until 2013. I have advised Andrew that John's best bet would be contacting the Canadian Archives on how to get information on his father. While public access to more recent records is difficult it worth his while contacting the Canadian Archives or the government itself and finding out just what family information he can request of copies of in Canada besides birth, marriage and death records.

If anyone has information on George please let us know.

regards,

Donald

A bit more information.
1. George is supposed to have been born in Guyana 1892.
2. I have been told his parents were named John Isaac Livingstone and Jane Dawdes.
3. Also I have been told that the wife of George was Gladys Louise Saunders.

I know we have lots of keen Canadians out there, and maybe we also have some people who might have some idea how to investigate Guyana?

Certainly a challenge anyway!

Best Regards
Andrew

Hello S. Whitson,

Have not heard from Andrew for a while. The 1921 Canadian Census is now the most recent census available on ancestry.com and that might have info on your ancestor.
