Perhaps someone with WW Subs might be able to help me out with this one.

I have an Alfred Ernest Chance........born 1879 Watford, Hertfordshire.

Married Ann aka Annie Griffin (Born 1876 Flaunden, Hertfordshire) in 1901....

Marriages Mar 1901 (>99%)

Griffin Annie Watford 3a 716

Here they are on the 1901 census......

All i have managed find after the 1901 census, is a possible Outward Passenger Lists for Alfred Ernest.......(Highly likely considering his occupation on the 1901 census)

She is on the 1911 census of Canada with the children, but husband not there - but it still says she is married rather than a widow, so assume he must be elsewhere.

Added, Prickles this info is from familysearch, as was the passenger list I posted

The one who went to New York in 1907 was born Watford and that was his last place of residence. He was going to join friend Wm. Danista?, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
