I am seeking information about my grandfather William Solly prior to 1886 and1899 to 1894...the years spent in England.
On official documents he claimed Liverpool to be his birthplace and his birthdate to be December 18 1865 or 1866.I haven't been able to verify this.
He married Annie Stubbs(Ashton under Lyne Lancs) in Montreal Quebec August 17 1886. Family returned to England after the birth of son William in 1888 returning to Canada in 1894.
I have William's Certificate of Discharge from the ship Rossmore in Liverpool April 14 1894 ...he was employed as second steward.The family remained in Canada raising a family of seven.William died in 1951 in Cornwall Ontario.
Family stories indicate a connection to Wales, parents possibly named George and Elizabeth and possibly a sister.William visited England in the 1920s and 1930s a couple of times indicating possible family ties.
