Thread: Nora Veal

Nora Veal b 1887 Fulham married Edward John Courtenay Bernard (my grandfather) b 1877 Buckhurst Hill, Essex.
I have not been able to find a marriage record in the UK or Canada.
Courtenay's first record of arrival in Canada which I have found is 1906, he was bound for Frobisher, Manitoba.
They were later recorded as married and 'returning Canadians' in a later passenger list.
They farmed in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, lived in Winnipeg in 1919 when my father was born.
I would like to be able to docuent their marriage.
Thank you.

Hi,
I have found Nora on the 1891 census:

The family were living in Hammersmith, London and are listed as follows:

George Veal age 35, living on own means-artist, born London
Ellen M Veal age 39, born Northampton
Charlotte L. E. Veal, age 9, born London
Nora Veal age 3, born London
John Veal age 1, born London
William J Adams age 25, auctioneer's student, born Northampton (he's stated as being George's step-son)
Ellen J Adams age 21, born Northamptonshire (step-daughter).

I have found a marriage of a Nora Veal to an Oscar Tyzack in 1909 in Fulham London. I have looked at search results of a later census than 1901, and they definately married. Here is the info you will need to order the certificate:

Name:Nora VealYear of Registration:1909Quarter of Registration:Oct-Nov-DecDistrict:FulhamCounty:Greater London, London, MiddlesexVolume:1aPage:769


I checked the 1891 and 1901 census and according to them, Oscar was born c. 1887 in London.
I have been unable to find a death in the UK, but interestingly found this:

British Columbia Death Registrations, 1872-1986 for Oscar Tyzack

I checked back on the 1891 census, and Oscar's mother was called Emily and his father Samuel!

I'm not able to view the details, but a Nora Tyzack can be found on the Canadian Passenger Lists, arriving in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

This may need more looking into, but hopefully I've given you a start!
