Anyone can search 1921 (and see images), but only via:

I think the only feasible hit is:

How many live births did Annie say she'd had by 1911, and how many are still living?
I'm wondering which bro EA is going to join - could even be a bro-in-law, I suppose.
UK census was 2/4/1911 - Canada was 1st June 1911/16/21, so the brother might be on both 1911s.
There's 2556 Mills's in ON 1911, via a search at:
http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/index.jsp

Those passenger records are both after June 1911 so Ernest wouldn't be on, that's if we have the correct immigration record!

Ernest was born in 1889.....not in 1888, making him no more than 22 in 1911

In 1911, his occupation was Baker's Assistant

Annie had given birth to 11, only 6 of whom survived, and all but one are on the 1911 with her

Two children's names crossed out are Henry and Gertrude (presumably deceased)

Anthony

Do you have Ernest' full DOB, it might help trace him?

Edit: I wonder if he died at sea on the journey over to Canada, or he never went to Canada?

What makes you think he did?

Hi Gins

I dont know that he went Canada i am just trying to find out where and when he died
I come up against a brick wall in England
Best Regards
Anthony
