Could anyone who has full access to Ancestry records please check the border crossings from Canada to the United States , for Joan Shelton Alpers.
Family search also has the record for Joan Shelton Alpers dob 28 October 1924 Millom Cumberland.
I am hoping she may be travelling with her husband, the only information i have is he was called Charles.
Thank you for any replies.
Maurice.

Thank you Shirley,
I do have that record, the record on family search and the border crossing has used her maiden name as a middle name. So i was hoping it may be a different record.
Thank you Maurice.

Yes there is no marriage in England for her, the only information for her marriage is tentative and that her husband was called Charles Alpers and he was a serviceman from America.
Joan died in 2014

On her arrival at Niagara Falls she said that she lawfully entered United States under the name Joan Shelton, 22 June 1946 on the Stella Polaris.
Could she have been on her honeymoon? Niagara Falls is the honeymoon capital of the world.
