Family Tree Maker's Genealogy Site: User Home Pages: THE BICKNELL FAMILY IN CANADA

On June 26, 1872, James Bicknell, eldest son of Thomas Bicknell and his wife Maria Pellett, sailed from the Port of London, England on the S.S. Medway. With him were his wife Anne (Caplin) and their children James 10, Annie 7, Ellen 5 and Alfred 2. They were bound for the Port of Quebec in Canada where a new life awaited them in Hamilton, Ontario. Their son Harry was born in Hamilton in September 1873. On the thirty five day voyage to the Port of Quebec, James kept a diary. A relative told me of the diary and said I could read it some day. However, it seems to have disappeared with her death. How wonderful it would be to read James' account of the family's adventure on the sea. My research has traced the life and times of the Bicknell ancestors in England and their descendants here in Canada. More information about the Bicknells will be added to the site so please visit often.
