Looking for any information on Jesse Samuel Freeman b.1908 who went to Canada. I have him on a ships manifest going to Canada and I have been told that he married Anna May Hood. I don't know when he died and hoping somebody can look up his marriage for me.His wife died in 1947 and I think he may only have been married a short while, not sure if he was married before though. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank hou.

Ahh he was a BHC

Have you joined the British home children group on Facebook

I'll have a look at that, thank you.

He's on the Laurietic going to Canada in 1931.

Thank you for that information. Is there a way to find his death at all.

Can I ask how you found his sister living in Welwyn Garden City in 1931 please?

The 1931 travel record posted by Shirley says he was going to 21 Elm Gardens, Welwyn Garden City.

The return journey record in 1932 also gives that address.

Neither of them says it was his sister's address, but as she was living in Welwyn in 1924, it's a reasonable assumption.
