Thank you anyway for taking the trouble to remind me.

Please can someone track these two on any of the Canadian censuses.
Last sighting of them was from the army records of Annie´s brother Tom Sewell, who was with the Canadian forces & named them as his next of kin in 1917.
At that time they were living at 86 Howard Street Toronto but later in life I think they moved to Salt Spring Island....probably for retirement.
I know that Annie died before my grandmother, her sister, so probably mid to late 1960s.
Annie was born Ann Maria Sewell in Birmingham in 1887, daughter of Thomas Sewell & Esther Crowder. She married George Eaton in 1912 in Birmingham & they emigrated to Canada 21.2.1913 aboard the Hesperian, landing in Halifax Nova Scotia. I know they had a son Kenneth, born in Canada & he was married twice & had 2 sons, one of whom was called Barry.
Please can anyone spot them on any of the available censuses, or anywhere else for that matter. I,m crosseyed with looking.
