Thank you Margee

Are you able to see the image for Beatrice's birth ?

Using the llink mgnv gives there is a weird entry for a Mary Beart......Cornish !!!

Wonder if the father is Fred J or Fred T this time !

Just looking at the death of Beatrice. It said she died of marasmus. I had to google it, it's severe malnutrition.

Thank you - once again mgnv !

Would Frederick have needed his birth cetificate to marry ? in which case that would have been as Kimbrey

I cannot access the image of Joseph Cornish birth in 1911 in Toronto either-perhaps someone with Worldwide Ancestry can help ?

I expect the death of a Beatrice Cornish in 1909 with father Frederick and mother Mary Jane Beardwood which AnnCardiff posted will be the clue

Thanks you all :-)

The incoming passenger list is at LAC:

[It shows Fredk J Kimbrey traveeling on the same ticket as another Labr, also from Berkshire, and a Carpenter from Midx. All 3 are in their early 20s and bound for Montreal.]

It seems odd for him to arrive as Kimbrey and marry as Cornish.
I've not seen Jos Cornish's b.cert, but Ancestry says dad Fred's mid-name is Thos - but I don't fully trust Ancestry transcriptions.

*** Unfortunately, I don't have a sub to see details & get images. ***

Birth records are closed for 97y in Ont, so Elsie's birth won't be closed, but it's not online yet.

I searched for an Ont marr via:
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=7921
but I didn't see any hits I thought likely - it would certainly help if Joseph's birth record gave Mary's maiden surname.

The 1891 entry is the Abingdon Workhouse where Frederck is with his mother Sarah and sister Lottie May born 1880-the father died in 1888-not sure why I could not find him in 1901 !
