Oh dear,how sad!!
Thank you,Irene,for getting back to us.
Just wish Bessie had lived a longer life. She must have been some lady.

Best,
Maureen

Thank you both and how kind of you to help me.

Cemetery. Her father was my gt.gt.grandfather.
Many thanks Irene

LOL!
So she's really Mary Eliz. She lands in Halifax in May/1911. A nurse.

I don't see her in Canada 1911. Maybe she's in Vermont. (shoot me)

Maureen

No, I hadn't found that Maureen. You're a better man than I!

Dear heaven I need new glasses. The Mongolian-of course.

I know you've already found this....

Maureen

I'v sent a pm to Irene.

Oh, I hadn't noticed that, Maureen! I've never seen them do that before. It says she was born London, England and arrived in Canada May 1911 at Halifax aboard the Mongolian.

She should be on the 1911 Canadian census, it was taken in June but I can't see her.

The long way around! I think I hurt my neck trying to imagine the voyage.

The next page,though...is that a continuation????

Maureen

Morning, Maureen, I'm always up early.
Early to bed, early to rise, me.
I just hope that Irene comes back to the thread to find out that the info was wrong.
I wondered why someone going from Regina Saskatchewan to Minneapolis would travel through St. Albans, Vermont!

LOL!!!!!!!!
I'm just going to put this here for a second or two.
Wow,that image looks so different. She's a nurse,born England. Last lived in Regina (That'll be Sask,I hope).
Going to Minneapolis.

The kicker is that it doesn't look like the port of entry was Vermont. Looks more like North Dakota!!!

Good morning and aren't we up early!

Best,
Maureen

Edit: Obviously leaving this here....otherwise M/bull is talking to herself again.

The original of that border crossing says she's a nurse, age 31, born England, last permanent residence Regina, Canada, no relatives in country from whence she came and she's heading for Minneapolis, Minnesota.
However the port of entry is not St. Albans, Vermont. It's Portal, North Dakota.

Thank you so much Colin.
That is most kind of you.
Many thanks
Irene

Could someone who has Ancestry Worldwide Membership
