I am trying to find any information I can on my grandmother, Phoebe Long (nee Smith). All I know is that she was born in Lewisham October 6, 1883. She married Henry Long in 1909 and they moved to Canada. I believe she also had a sister named Dolly. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Do you know when they left the UK for Canada?


Do you have their marriage certificate? That would give us her father's name, and thus help to find her.

Thanks so much for the information Lindsey and Sylvia. I don't have their marriage certificate Sylvia but I do know they came to Canada in 1909 and her husband's name was Henry Long.
