Hi I'm trying to find out about Harold and his wife Ethel Eva Doreen Parkin. (in Canada)
Harold was born 15/08/1904 in Birmingham. I have him on the 1911 census. He sailed for Quebec on 06/05/1927
Ethel was born abt 1910 in kirkby in Ashfield, Nottingham.
Harold and Ethel married in Canada ? when
I know there is information about these people on ancestry (World Wide membership but I don't have that). including 1931 Canada census, their marriage and death.
Can anyone with world wide membership on Ancestry please take a look for me. Any information would be really useful.
Harold is my Grand fathers brother.
Thanks
