I can't see a Harry W Faulkner on the 1921 Canada census?

How did you work back to him please Danetree?

Well, I've answered my own question. The children of Harry's marriage seemed to have remained in Northamptonshire as they would appear to have married and died there. I think you need to tell us what proof you have that Harry actually emigrated to Canada.

Yes Maddie, that's the death that I posted last night that I thought was probably the correct Harry as there are some records of him being a Railway plate layer but none after 1917. There's also a likely death for Annie in Northampton.

It just seems a lack of evidence showing him going or being in Canada.

is this the marraige you have in mind
