Ancestry has sent me hints about various people, most of who are not of interest to me but the latest batch included something I hadn't seen before. The records refer to 3 people in the US Border Crossings from Canada 1895 -1960. Two of them, Alice Mary Margaret Rennie b1917 and her brother Thomas b1904 were born in Canada, but the 3rd Louisa Fleming Clarke 1887-1976 was born in England. The Rennies are her aunt's (who emigrated to Canada) grandchildren. I certainly wasn't aware that she had been to Canada or America and would love to know the details, if someone could have a look for me please?

Of course. I'll look now, Lynn.

Can you give me exactly how Ancestry described them, please, Lynn?

I can't see anything either. She seems to have been born in London, died in Suffolk. Is that her?

However, it looks as if Ancestry is playing up again as I can see nothing for the Rennies either.

I couldn't find a dataset on Ancestry with anything like that title. I did find this on Family Search:

United States Border Crossings from Canada to United States, 1895-1956

(so, similar dates)

but none of those people seemed to be on it! (of course FS only seems to give results that have no similarity to what I asked for, so maybe they are there somewhere!)

This is the dataset on Ancestry:

How did you get that to come up? If I use the card catalogue to try and find it I get no matches (searching Border Crossings). I made sure I had the UK records box unticked. If I put my search term in the keywords instead of the title I get over 180 matches. I guess I missed it when I looked through those?

I just untick the UK box and type Border Crossings in the Title box.

For me, just 'Border Crossings from Canada' in the title box brought up these two:

Canada, Border Crossings from U.S. to Canada, 1908-1935

U.S., Border Crossings from Canada to U.S., 1895-1960

This seems to be the link for Thomas, who later returned to England.

This is for Alice.

I am not sure that the ones for Louisa and Alice are the right people

Canada, Border Crossings from U.S. to Canada, 1908-1935

U.S., Border Crossings from Canada to U.S., 1895-1960

It is the 2nd one of those

Was your Louisa born in Norfolk?

Also you said your Thomas was born in Canada, but your link is to a Thomas who was supposedly born in England.

Louisa was born in Clapham, her father and aunts were born in Norfolk. Thomas was born in Hackney and moved to Canada with his grandma Mary Ann and parents Walter Valentine and Florence Miriam Rennie

Louisa's record gives her nationality as Canadian, last permanent residence as Edmonton, Canada, and relative as sister Mrs Geo Lowe, of Independence, Oregon. Does that fit with your Louisa?

No it certainly doesn't, it did seem a bit unlikely. Thanks for looking.
