What about Canadian Census records? Do they run the same as ours? 1911?? She may not have married immediately.

I got my printout record ^^^ from Find My Past, it says page 12 of 18. All other sites I tried just had your Kitty, not my Kate!
All I know, is she got off the boat in Montreal

Do you have any idea where in Canada she went?

Maureen

I undertand that she was just called 'Kate' but there are no records to show her going to Canada

The record you mention is the one that Maureen posted and it is not your girl.

There are no marriages/deaths either, except the one for the UK that Maureen also posted

So how about death records in Canada, may they help, anyone have access to them?

No! She was just plain Kate Pickering

Well that one married in Manitoba:
GROOM'S LAST NAME: TAYLOR
GROOM'S GIVEN NAMES: LEWIS JOHN
BRIDE'S LAST NAME: PICKERING
BRIDE'S GIVEN NAMES: EMILY BLANCH VICTORIA DATE OF MARRIAGE: 22/06/1912
PLACE OF MARRIAGE: WPG
REGISTRATION NUMBER: 1912,002586
REGISTRATION DATE:

Not that that helps!

Maureen

This is the amendment that a member has made to that Kitty shipping record


Kitty Pickering rather than Ketty Pickering
Kitty Pickering's actual name was Emily Blanche Victoria Pickering, nickname "Kitty".

So the girl on the shipping record you found doesnt look like your Kate

No, she wrote to her brother (My Grandfather) from Canada, his last letter received was to say she was getting married, and he never heard from her again!
Do Canada have death records with maiden names?

That's the problem,though. Her arrival record has her age as 22.

Are you sure she's not the one who married Sam Bonser??

Maureen

I had problems with her sailing records before, but definately have this confirmed:
Miss K Pickering 11th June 1909 Departs Liverpool, destination Montreal, no age mentioned, single, female, spinster.
Ship Victorian
official number 121216
Allan Line Steamship Co Ltd

It looks like it to me,Gins.

I could only find this one for a 1909 arrival and she's a little young.

Yes Linda I just realised

But her parents were William and Harriet?

I am looking for a marriage for a Kate Pickering, who emigrated to Canada in 1909, and married someone...who?
Kate was originally born in Thringstone, Leicester in 1880,her parents were Willam and Harriet Pickering.
