If you have everything up to 1911, I'm guessing you have this

You can research easily in England and Wales after 1911 using freebmd

You asked about Grattons going to Canada

none of the ones you have named was a gratton

Of those I know went to Canada are Florence and her baby Florence, who was actually a PARKINSON, Florence May,who was born in 1901 and whose mother was Lily. She married Samuel Barker in 1903.
I have probably put this on the wrong board because I have done all my research up to 1911 and it's what happened to them all afterwards that I am interested in. (Not just the Canadian ones)

On Findmypast there are 160 records of people with the name Gratton leaving for Canada between 1890 and 1960.

You would need to give some names to make searching easier.

no-one will have info unless they are actually researching these people

they would have to look it up

Can you say what research you have done, please!.

For instance - who were Lily's parents?

Lily GRATTON married Samuel BARKER in 1903 and are my wife's grandparents. We are trying to trace what happened to the GRATTON family and are aware that some of them went to Canada. Does anyone have any information?
