They were married in 1935 - you can see the marriage cert here:

http://search-collections.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/Image/Genealogy/6e8e41a9-7b6d-4def-b42c-2c43867cae0b

It gives details of her age and her parents - she was born in Vancouver.

I was curious as to why he was travelling in a 'Salvation Army Group' but this would appear to answer that:


1911 Census For England & Wales
29 Walpole St York, York, Yorkshire & Yorkshire (East Riding), England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Alfred Hewson Head Married Male 35 1876 **Salvation Army Insurance Agent Yarborough Lincolnshire
Alice Augusta Hewson Wife Married Female 32 1879 - Hull Yorkshire
Alfred Hewson Son Single Male 11 1900 School Hull Yorkshire
Ada Hewson Daughter Single Female 9 1902 - Selby Yorkshire
Arnold Hewson Son Single Male 7 1904 - Brayton Yorkshire
Arthur Hewson Son Single Male 5 1906 - Artork Yorkshire
