Good morning folks.......

I am seeking possible information on Hilda R Boak 1905 - Canada (Toronto).

I have no idea whether she married or died in Canada. Her siblings are Eva and Florence.

Thanks

Do you mean she was born 1905 in Canada?

I can't see her on the 1911 Canadian census.

In 1914 Hilda was travelling with Eva (Her mother, born England) aged 38 and Florence (Hilda's sister, born England) aged 10. Eva states that she had been living in Toronto for 3 years so presumably that is where Hilda was born.
