Gail:

Could they have been returning to England for a visit?
Border Crossings: From Canada to U.S., 1895-1956
Name: Frederick C J Ellis Jr
Arrival Date: Feb 1919
Age: 25
Birth Date: abt 1894
Birth Country: England
Gender: Male
Race/Nationality: English
Port of Arrival: Island Pond, Vermont, USA

On the second page:
"Whether going to join a relative or friend; and if so, what relative or friend, and his name and complete address":
Father: Joshua Ellis, Fins?sburg, London
Listed under Emma's information: Mo.? Mrs. Edith Slacker???, Islington, Eng

So, perhaps they entered America, only to board a ship for London, England???

Can any one else help?
I am a little confused by the Passenger entry. Where is he going and where did he sail from?

I can't find anyone in Canada with surname Shacknell on either the 1901 or 1911 census.
