[Note there's a "C" in col 4 - Alfred wasn't at home, but on service [i.e., training] elsewhere in Canada]

LAC have just started digitizing all their WW1 army service records - seeing as his surname is a W, Alf's will be released in the last batch, so late 1915, but it'll be worth returning then to:

Please heed the advice about removing the exact DOB......................otherwise your post may be referred to GR as infringing site guidelines

Thanks indeed.. the detail offered is correct in that Ethel Louise was Alfred's first wife, Geraldine being born to his second, Theresa.
The detail re
"Robert McGlennon an operator and mrs Geralidine McGlennon" is New detail.. many thanks.. a great lead to follow. Thanks to the forum.

Yes. the passenger lists confirm Geraldine as a Canadian Citizen, born in '32, & knowledge of the family confirms the UK address as that of a relative. Beyond that, seemingly no detail. The Tree here has no extra so her life is still a mystery.

As she was born only 82 years ago she could easily be still alive.
It would be best that you removed her exact date of birth - whilst stating that you know what it is.
What is your connection to her?
She is in a tree on here - have you contacted the tree holder?
Thank-you
