Sorry, the details about 1949 are from Australia, they go all the way to 1980. I'll she if there are children living with them .

Wow, thank you.

Maybe Elsie didn't marry - she was 37 by the time she went to Canada?

BatMansDaughter

BatMansDaughter Report 23 Sep 2012 23:12

I can't see anything else about Elsie, so presumably she married in canada???

EDIT>>>>>>> Looks like Leslie W Sarson married, spouse was found and details deleted after OP has them written down.

The son married in Canada in 1913, here's Mary's sisters marriage to Mr Brickwood;

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Dec 1883 (>99%)
>>>>>>>BRICKWOOD Richard Christopher Greenwich 1d 1406
NIXON Emma Greenwich 1d 1406
>>>>>>>STEEL Charlotte Emma Greenwich 1d 1406
TIBBS William John Greenwich 1d 1406

canadian marriages and deaths are closed for a certain amount of years and it does make it very difficult.

Sue in Sunny Worthing

Sue in Sunny Worthing Report 23 Sep 2012 22:58

Somebody said that Ontario marriages are closed for 82 years so I guess we might not be ablr to find out if Elsie married.

Is there any website that we can look at for Candian deaths do you know?

Sue in Sunny Worthing

Sue in Sunny Worthing Report 23 Sep 2012 22:56

Elsie's mother was certainly Mary Steele ......... so she had a sister, Charlotte who married Richard Brickwood in Ontario in 1913?

And Elsie went to Canada to the brickwoods in 1926

Have I got that right? What a well travelled lady!!

BatMansDaughter

BatMansDaughter Report 23 Sep 2012 22:55

I haven't found a return trip from Canada for her.... although she could have married out there and returned under her married name??

That certainly looks like her, thank you.
So, do we think she ended up in Canada?

Also, who is Mr Brickwood? Does it mention him in the passenger list?

Thaks so much
