Thank you for that I'll strike it off my tree

You say "strike it off my tree".

Which man is definitely on your tree - the Linlithgow one or the Canadian?

? There might not be a record for him going back to Canada if it was a troopship transport and ? the same for War Brides

I searched Ancestry for Anderson arriving 8/8/1919 on Scandinavian

etc.

Maybe someone can check out the images - I expect they are listed seperately - Alex with the troops, and Lillian with the regular passengers.
(As Alex's dependent, Lillian's trip would be paid for by the Dominion gov't.)

The record for this person is officially closed. Can I get around this?

Maddie,
The child has been redacted on the FMP version but is still showing on the Ancestry one.
Based on the info supplied by ArgyllGran, this girl is not deceased and should not be visible on either

ok will delete ref

It's unusual for a record to be redacted on FMP but not on Ancestry.
It's usually the other way round.

I suppose it's just possible that she has died very recently, since the 2019 ER was compiled.
The 1939 record of a neighbour of mine, who died in 2017, is already open on Ancestry - I assume also on FMP.

Assuming Betty was born in Winnipeg, it's worth noting that Manitoba births are closed for 100y.
