I found city directories for Montreal. I do not see Frederick in Montreal 1919-1920. Haven't checked other years.

Note: According to their immigration record, Emma's mother was Edith "Slacker" (or Shacher) or anything else close to that spelling.

1918 directory has a Fred Ellis, pattern maker.

I can't access their information, but they don't have anything else about Frederick's family.

They do have information about Blanche and her parents:
Frencis Shackell, born 1857
Annie Perry, born 1861

Blanche's siblings:
Annie C Shackell 1881–
Florence D Shackell 1882–
Edith Shackell 1886–
Blanche G Shackell 1887–
Francis Shackell 1889–
Nelly Blanch Shackell 1890–1890
Emma Marion Shackell 1892–
James Shackell 1896–

Perhaps someone can tell you how you can contact the person submitting the information.

Hi Lisa,
Usually to contact someone on Ancestry you click on "tree owner" then click on "contact". The messages go through Ancestry so they don't know your name or address and you don't know theirs unless you choose to exchage addresses.

No more information from the Ancestry post. What a shame. Back to the drawing board.
