You have been busy! Many thanks. Yes, this is Adelaide's marriage - despite the peculiar spelling. Someone has been in touch with a possible death in Winnipeg of Winifred in 1909 but the age is showing as 4 which doesn't tally as she would have been about 12 or so - unless it's another case of handwritten error.
Really don't know what to think about Reginald travelling out to Canada on his own - it just doesn't seem feasible I agree - but I guess we don't know what the circumnstances were. Not sure which avenue to go down now. Thanks once again. Regards, Cynthia.

Curious, isn't it? I can't find a death of George or Winnifred and as you say, why did Reginald go to Canada 2 years later? He would only have been 7, he couldn't have gone alone.

Thanks Margaret. Yes, I have been down this track before but am still trying to discover :
a) if Adelaide travelled alone or with her first husband (Geo. Clark not Ernest Bignell as was first thought)
b) why did Reginald go out later?
c) what happened to her daughter Winifred who was born in 1898? Can't find deaths for either Geo. or Winifred as yet. I am looking on behalf of an elderly relative who was named after Winifred and would love to be able to tell her a little more. I'll keep trying! Thanks again.

They're still in England on the 1901 census, I guess you know that. We did this before didn't we? His mother had remarried by the time of the 1911 census in Canada. She was Delma Hodgins on Reginald's attestation papers and Reginald is living with her in Manitoba on the 1911 census where it says that she emigrated 1905 and he in 1907.

Can anyone please help? I am still searching for records of when Adelaide Delma Clark travelled to Canada. It was between 1901 and 1911. She may have gone with her son Reginald who was born in 1900. Help appreciated. Thanks.
