William Albert Cundy married Vera F Cooper in 1950 in Surrey.

There's an emigration record on Ancestry showing him heading to Canada in 1957 as intended permanent residence. I have been unable to find a record for Vera going to join him, nor for their two boys Martin C 1956 and Stephen W 1952.

The trail starts with electoral records on FMP which appear to show William and Vera in Lambeth from 1952 to 1955.

However it looks as if they did all go as there's a burial record for William in Canada mentioning the two sons and Vera.

If both sets of records (ERs and burial in Ontario) refer to the same people then there should be some record of Vera and the boys crossing between the UK and Canada.

As William went by boat I would have expected the rest of the family to do likewise (flying might have been an option but I would have thought it unlikely?). I wonder whether anyone with access to international travel records might be able to find Vera and the boys please?

Thanks

Keith
