Olive Tree Genealogy received a request from a reader (Hillary M.) Because my answer covers so many generic research suggestions I thought it might be helpful to post it here. I have edited the query as follows:
Dear Olive Tree,Hello Hillary - The first thing that jumps out at me in your query is that immigration date for Henry. That date does not likely refer to his immigration to Canada but rather into the USA. So if he was first in Canada for a period of time, the year he crossed the border to USA is almost certainly what is being referred to. (immigration years 1871, 1872, 1875)
I need assistance locating immigration/migration records for my gr-gr-grandfather Henry Arthur Bolton and my gr-gr-grandmother Emily Meyrick.The problem is, I don't know exactly when Henry immigrated to Canada from England, or when he migrated from Canada to the United States. In the US census records his immigration date changes; 1900 census states 1875, 1910 census states 1871, 1920 census states 1872.What I do know is he married Emily Jane Meyrick on October 14 1886 is Worcester Massachusetts. His marriage record states his parents names as George and Elizabeth. At the time of his marriage his age is listed as 25.He died in Massachusetts May 14, 1942 (My grandmother was 19 years old)
