I have PM'd the 1914 Childs/Clarke marriage cert to Sheila

Glad we seem to have hit on the right family.
It would have been oh so much simpler if you'd given us your grandmother's name ( not many Lottie Child's about !)

Thank you all for all the useful information. You have hit on the right family. My grandmother was Lottie Child. My mother wrote down my grandmother's recollections and owned a photo of Winnie's family but neither my mother or grandmother could remember her married name. The photo is the source of the children's names. I don't have it but my sister is checking to see if she has it. I think you have the right Winnie who sailed on the Lake Manitoba to Quebec. I am really happy to have a possible name for her husband. Now I can check for her marriage records. Thanks again.

We really need some feedback here.

In case it turns out to be right family ...

Winnie Child 9

Curious that you know Winnie's childrens first names but not their surname.

The way to finding Winnie is to know

What was your grandmother's name ?
Where and when was she born?

Born 1891 but came to Canada before WW2? How long before WW2? Surely then her children were all born in UK? She would have been 48 at the onset of WW2.

Who was her sister?

Who were their parents?

Where did they live?

Please tell us ALL you know......................

Yes, Child was her maiden name. Her full name was probably Winifred and her date of birth was probably 1891. I don't have her married name or the date she came to Canada. Thanks for all the helpful advice.

Just in case .....

There is this one who emigrated with patents William and Erica

Sure to have been Winifred..............

If the OP returns, perhaps she'll be able to give some useful info..............like dates, and location

Scrub that birth - and the marriage

Children born to the couple have completely different names from those quoted.

Was Winnie a nickname or Winifred
