Thank you Catherine for finding out this information.

Some of his relatives went to live in Canada so it looks like he and Ellen went out there too.

So I will have to find out where he was in 1911 and then make a request for Canada information. Cheers Nala. :-)

Original says George immigrated 1907 and Ellen 1908. They are listed as showing allegiance to the Country of Canada, no naturalisation year shown. Both recorded as CofE

The quality of the original is very poor, but despite the name being "Ether" on the transcript, I think this will be them in 1911. Years of immigration match 1907 for George and 1908 for "Ether"

GREY GHOST and MALYON thanks for the fantastic info you have given me. I have built up such a good picture in such a short time.

Nala. :-)

Thanks for 1921 census greyghost, sometimes so frustrating when you don't have world wide. That does look to be them.

Greyghost - re "no naturalisation year shown"
Until the Commonwealth (late 1940s), Canada did have the power to make immigrants naturalized British citizens - a bit pointless here.
Oz, NZ, S Africa & Newfoundland eventually had the same power.

[Grove Ave continues N of Dundas as Lakeview (that's not quite true - there's enough of a jog at Dundas to make them distinct streets)]
