You say they were living seperately? could he not have been working away?

Could you explain which long separated part you are trying to connect - are you hoping to find all the descendants of Mary and Robert?

Have you looked to see if anyone on here has any of your family in their trees?

Do you know the background of Robert?

Where have you looked for further information?

Thank-you

In 1912 my grand Aunt Mary Ann FINCH, born 1893, arrived in Canada from England, where she met and married Robert BOOTH, born in Scotland 1873.
By 1921 they were living separately (?) in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. The children were Elsie bn 1915, Robert bn 1917, Catherine bn 1918 and Walter bn 1921.
Hope someone can help me connect 2 long separated branches of the family.
