Thank you Wayne and Paul for your help. I believe William emigrated ahead of Mary and the children so that will explain why he is not mentioned. I did wonder about 'Winsmuir' has I know there is a Winsover Road in Spalding because at that time there were other relations living there.
I am not sure where they lived in Canada though some family 'rumours' indicate Winnipeg.
Thanks again
Sue

Paul,

On the shipping list is def quite clearly Winsmuir as Susan stated.

We are talking 90 years ago !, it is quite possible it's now Duke Street, going completely the other way or has a supermarket carpark on it!

Trying to find information on William and Mary Ann Cook who lived Winsmuir Road Spalding and emigrated to Canada in 1929. Also their children Ernest, Joseph and Kathleen. Any help appreciated.
