I wonder if you could help me please
I am try to piece together the life of ===
Ivy Ella S Wakefield born 1901 Islington

Father Henry James Wakefield born 1856 Bristol Gloucestershire
Mother Eliza Emily Adams born 1861 Pill Somerset

Ivy Ella S Wakefield married Wilfred Ernest R Sears 1922 Islington London England

I think they may have divorced as on the 1939 Register Plymouth Devon Ivy E Sears states divorced
So I wonder is Wilfred E Sears remarried
The 1939 Register has my husband Family ( Ling)
On there so it’s the right Ivy E Sears because
Because Hilda Ling nee Wakefield is Ivy E Sears is her sister


Amy P Sears born 1923 Islington but died 1923 Islington

John W G Sears born 1924 Islington London
Died 1971 Vancouver Canada

He married Joan Hicks 1948 Camberwell
They had 3 Children ?

What I won’t to find out did they all went together for a reason

The story goes John Sears died coming back to
England at the Airport ?..
I have a couple of Electrical Roles for Ivy Sears in Bedfordshire
So I wonder when Ivy E S Sears went to Canada
If so there must be List of the Departure s to Canada from England
Hope you can understand what I am on about

Also did Ivy E Sears die in Canada

Thankyou for reading this
Olive Ling ( nee Bowler)

Have you looked at electoral rols for the preiod 1922 - 1939 to see when they were no onger together?

A Wilfred Ernest Sears died in Redbridge 1974 ( from Freebmd)
He may have married in 1940 in Ilford ( again from Freebmd)

You may find the family travelling on the emigration/immigration docs on both FMP and Ancestry.

You asked if John Sears and Joan Hicks had three children.

I can only see one Sears/Hicks birth - at least in England/Wales - in 1950 in Westminster.
You can find it yourself easily on FreeBMD

(Badly mistranscribed on Ancestry as Searleysears!)

Others presumably born in Canada.

Thankyou for your replies
So Ivy E Sears died in Vancouver Canada

What about her son John W Sears and his wife Joan Sears and thier children
