Thank you for all your help

Just for confirmation Margaret & Thomas Edwards are at no 27 :-)

Phew !!

Then maybe that's the correct Doris.
If not, the Desmond and Edwards names would be a huge coincidence.

At no 1 is an Ernest A Cawley and mother Elizabeth H Cawley , possibly

Marriages Mar 1924 (>99%)
Cawley Ernest A Medlicott W.Derby 8b 354
Medlicott Elizabeth H Cawley W.Derby 8b 354

edit yes it is the son
Births Sep 1924 (>99%)
Cawley Ernest A Medlicott W.Derby 8b 868

Can someone have a look and see what the house number is for Margaret (1876) and Thomas (1868) Edwards, in Smith Drive, Bootle in 1939, please?

I'm hoping they're not at number 1 !

That looks good ArgyllGran :-)

Thank you will have a look

I can't see her going from Canada to UK before that, with any of the possible name permutations.

Here's the above Doris's arrival in Canada.

NOK: Mother, Mrs EDWARDS, 1 Smith Drive, Bootle. <<<<<<<< (coincidence ??)
Destination: Canadian Women's Hostel, Halifax.

She's single.

I've had a look on Anc' incoming passenger lists (without a subscription) for Minnie and surname blank but not showing any of the likely names, perhaps take a look there though and widen the search ?

*** - her age is certainly entered in the "Male" column, but must be a mistake - I've never heard of a male Doris.

He was American working in the hotel with her

Been told she only visited Liverpool but could of worked in London for some time ,she had a boyfriend surname was Desmond ,but no other information

Did she stay long when she visited family? or worked in London? Just wondering if she might appear on any electoral rolls

I know Minnie did go back to Liverpool in 1931/2., to visit family and she might of worked in a hotel called Lonsdale hotel in London ,she could of used different surnames Dayer ,Edwards Malenbergor Desmond ,I've tried these names but still can't find her .

Thanks for the info ,found details of the Edwards and Dayer families,but nothing about what happened to Minnie dayer

Neither can we, Alison! They must have been missed from the records, somehow.

Can't find them on the 1911 census
