If that is indeed your man, Helen, I don't believe that he remained in Montreal, he just disembarked there but was heading to Munro, Ontario.

Also latest Canadian census is 1921 so not much help.

So Munro , Ontario ,great what you have found out, wondered when he died? You mentioned a Frank Grieve and a Lola Grieve, is that him too ?

The woman's name is Iola, not Lola.

I don't know if her husband is "your" Frank or not.
Can't find a marriage for them.

Can't find deaths for either of them.

As already posted, they were in Wellington, Ontario in 1965.
Ontario deaths more recent than 1937 are not available online.

Further to mgnv's post above:

The groom in the1934 marriage to Agnes is not your Frank, but we don't know if the Frank married to Iola is yours or not.

Hi Argyllgran gran , sounds like the voters list you found for Frank Grieve and Lola Clark Grieve might be him , too similar, farmer etc, never said if any family in that voting list did it? Thanks a lot

So Frank & Iola (note Iola not Lola) were on the UK incoming passenger list Sept.1952 and out going Oct.1952. Had they perhaps returned for a family funeral?

Unfortunately Canadian incoming passenger lists don't go up to 1952. I actually emigrated to Canada as a child in 1952. I'm on the UK outgoing passenger list but there's no incoming Canadian list.

On the 1963 voter's list Frank is a trucker and Iola a lab tech. In 1965 he's a carpenter and she's a lab tech.

Helen -
You asked if there was any family listed with Frank and Iola on the ER.

No - but that doesn't necessarily mean they didn't have any family.
If Frank was born 1899 and Iola in 1906 (per the ages given in the 1950 travel record), then they were 66 and 59 by 1965.
Any children could have left home by then.

Having said that, I can't see any births of children for them, from what's available with a Worldwide (or whatever they call it) sub on ancestry.ca

And please remember, we don't know if this is your Frank or not.
