No Sorry I don't I think it was in the 1920's all I know is that at least one of my gran's sister's went to Canada to live as mum says gran used to go over there to see her as its my dad's family I have only what my mum can tell which isn't much and dad died 8 yrs ago,

Wendy

Wendy, I don't understand what you mean by the 1920's? The passenger list I posted is from 1919?

Do you think Elizabeth went to Canada too?

Hi Marie,

Yes that;s them just check birth for Eric he was born Mar 1918 and mother name is down as Brainfoot.

Thank you so much for all your help you are great :-D :-D :-D

Wendy

Hi Marie, Sorry I posedt that reply before I saw your post on 1919.

Yes we think Elizabeth went to Canada too, Mum say's my gran and grandad was going to go too but changed their minds and came to Nottingham instead. Maybe Elizabeth didn't go and it was Emily that gran used to visit in Canada as none of my dad's brother's are alive I have no one to ask.

Wendy

There WAS a 1926 passenger list for Emily, she must have been back to England for a visit. She didn't actually travel as her name is crossed off (may have transferred to another voyage), but all of the information is there:

She was returning to husband Mr Flint at 69 Quay Street, Vital, Man.

Here she is years later:

Wow Thank you Marie that comfirm's it, that's the address where the Branfoot's lived another mispelling of the name.

As for Elizabeth I'm not sure if she went to Canada now have found a possible death Mar Qtr 1933 Leeds which could be her. She had 2 children Evelyn Horsman born 1912 and Alfred born 1914.
