I'm trying to find what happened to Jane Roberts.
She was born in 1889 in St. Helens, Lancashire, to parents Thomas Roberts and Margaret Naylor. She married Herbert Aaron Brown in 1914 and I think emigrated to Manitoba in 1914. I don't have any world memberships to sites so wondered if anyone could see if they could find any information on her please.

Thanks so much Shirley. Sorry about the late response, something unavoidable came up.
Jane is my grandfather’s sister and though I now live in Canada I never knew I had relatives here until I started family research. I wonder why they decided to emigrate at the start of the war. I’m guessing Montreal was their point of landing before they went on to Manitoba.
Thanks.
