Canada, Prairie Provinces Census, 1926

[Per Tore Solheim]

Hei igjen

Gjennom den tråden jeg startet 8.9.2018 - Torjus Moland - fikk jeg oppklart mye.  Men noe gjenstår, og jeg har oppfattet at flere på forumet er langt bedre til å finne fram i kilder i USA og Canada enn jeg er.   Jeg ser også at census for de 3 prærieprovinsene i Canada ligger på www, men jeg klarer ikke  å finne familien i den?  Den nasjonale census 1931 ligger vel ikke på www?

 

Som oppklart i tråden om Torjus Moland flyttet hans enke Kari Moland/Pearson sammen med sine 4 barn og nye mann John Pearson til Canada 1919, og de er alle funnet i Canada nasjonale census 1921, bosatt i distriktet  Portage-La-Prairie,  like sørvest for Winnipeg,  Manitoba. 

 

Spørsmålet er: Går det an og følge de personene jeg mangler opplysninger om videre?   Dette gjelder:

a.  Karis mann nr 2, John Pearson

b. Hennes  eldste sønn Kenneth Moland.  Født 1907 i MN

c. Kari og Johns datter Myrtle Pearson, født 1920 i Manitoba

d. Og Kari selv.  Hvor var hun fra 1921 til hun døde i Thunder Bay i 1935 hos sin datter Beatrice (f 1912 i MN)?

e. Karis datter Signe Idella Moland (1909 - 94) ble i 1926 gift med Oscar Ferdinand Bjornson (1906 -72). Han hadde islandske foreldre.  Paret fikk 4 barn: Kenneth Harold, Bernard Magnus, John Calvin og Marlys Hope.  Når og hvor ble barna født?

Jeg legger ved tråden du refererer til.

 

Legg alltid med lenker til tidligere tråder og evt. andre lenker du har mht. temaet - dette er til hjelp for andre som skal bidra og man unngår at hjelpere bruker tid på noe som allerede er funnet.

Dette kan være Myrtle (Jeanet) som døde i 1921 - https://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php

 

 

Hun var 8 mnd gammel ved census 1921. Census 1921 avholdt 1. juni 1921 så ca født i oktober 1920. Det kan da stemme med denne fødselen;

 

 

F. sted Cartier, d. sted Sanford, bosted 1921 Starbuck. SE KART

Iht. til familietre hos Ancestry så døde Kenneth 21. december 1978. Det står imidlertid 1977 på gravstenen, så muligens har vedkommende bommet på 1 år? Jeg stoler mer på gravstenen i dette tilfellet (1977).

 

Legger inn informasjon fra samme familietre;

 

"Kenneth's final days, excerpt from a Letter from sister, Della Bjornson to cousin, Mildred Olson Winters: (Sister Bea flew in too) We had 3 lovely days with Ken...he seemed to want to remember when we were young-life in Granite on the farm and in Thunder Bay. He had cancer of the liver & pancreas...we prayed at the end that God would release him. .... Ken was very successful-he started his own business. .... Ken had a lovely wife & they had a very happy & devoted life, ....she is going to miss him. He was the outgoing one."

Siden du ikke finner familien i census 1926 som dekker Manitoba, Saskatchewan og Alberta, så er vel sjansen stor for at de hadde flyttet til Ontario før det.

(Tar bare kort med at familitreet fra Ancestry nevnt tidligere har John Pearson død i Minnesota i april 1931, så det viser vel bare at vedkommende ikke har helt orden i sin slektsforskning).

Hvor har du opplysningen fra om at hun døde i 1994?

[Per Tore Solheim]

Tusen takk  til Egil J for overveldene opplysninger.  Alt jeg spurte om er besvart, og mere til.

Men dessverre, jeg kan ikke finne kilden min for dødsåret til (Signe)  Idella.....(Jeg finner mannen, men ikke henne på "Find a Grave")

 

Grunnen til at jeg tok opp denne tråden på nytt er at jeg har snakket med en grandniese av Torjus Moland.  Hun hadde selv opplevd som ung dame besøket til Marlys Hope Carruther (f. Bjornson) på Moland gård, Vegårshei,  omkring 1970.   Hun fortalte også at hun fortsatt var i kontakt med Marlys, og ville gjerne få supplert de opplysningene jeg hadde samlet sammen...

In case you don't already have this...

You may have a difficult time viewing the above image. I broke it down into 3 parts for easy viewing. It is from the 1931 census

 

The family resided in the City of Port Arthur, Ontario, Canada

No, I have not seen the canadian census from 1931.  And thank you also for splitting it.  Two of the children, Kenneth and Beatrice, are still at home.  I seems like John is working in a lumber camp?

Signe Idella was married to Oscar F. Bjornson (m. 1926 - 17 years old!).  May I ask - can you find her family too - with 3 children, living  in the same area?  

 

Another person still missing for me: Knut K. Voge, born in Norway 1885.  He arrived USA 1888, and Canada 1909.  He lived near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan  during the census 1921, but had probably left Canada before 1931.   In 1921 he had a wife - Theres.

Oscar Bjornson

From Wikipedia

 

Oscar Ferdinand Bjornson (February 14, 1906^[1] in Glenboro, Manitoba^[2] – August 13, 1972) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served as a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1959 to 1969.^[1]

The son of Magnus Bjornson, Bjornson was educated at the Kelvin Technical High School, and worked as an accountant and service manager. In 1925, he married Idella Moland. He was an officer of Lavoie Motors Ltd. in Lac du Bonnet. Bjornson served for fifteen years with Ford Motor Company of Canada, and Ford Motor Company of India. During World War 2, he served as a technical adviser to the government of India.^[2]

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1959 provincial election,^[1] defeating Liberal-Progressive John Ateah by 85 votes in Lac du Bonnet. He was re-elected over Ateah by a greater margin in the 1962 election, and defeated Liberal James Desilets by 80 votes in the 1966 election.^[1] He served as a backbench supporter of Premiers Dufferin Roblin and Walter Weir during his time in office.

Bjornson did not run for re-election in the 1969 election,^[1] after redistribution significantly changed the Lac du Bonnet riding.

He died in Calgary, Alberta and was buried in Lac du Bonnet.^[3]
