Thankyou for the great info. I found out that my grandfather may have been born in Wigton England any tips on how to confirm that?

familydetective

I'm off for the weekend try this site, its free. Wigton is in Cumberland not far from Maryport. If you do not find anything I will look on Monday

This might be you Thomas but Wigton is the town where BMDs where registered it does not mean Thomas was born there although he may have been.

Do you know if Thomas married Robina / Rubena Jackson in the UK or Canada.

familydetective

You need the marriage cert to get father's name. This might be him but if it is he traveled out alone to
Boston and it does not state he was married. Have you found any records of a Thomas Hasstie entering Canada from USA.

I assumed they were married in England because it looked like they immigrated together and came over on the same ship.

familydetective

I found this passenger list but on the list it states he never turned up to sail. He lists his father as living in 79 Wood St, Maryport, same as the 1911 census. It did state in the 1921 Census that Thomas and Robina / Rubena arrived in 1914 but I cannot find them on any ship list arriving in Canada or the USA and then travelling on to Canada.

I have also not been able to find their marriage in the UK.
