Thank you all very much for your help.
Would never have thought there would be so many Ada Alice Normans born around the same time.
I was a bit suspicious that it might be mine as there are so many secrets & odd goings on in the family as most of us find at one time or another.

The only Ada Wibberley I can see going to Canada is the one you have been given, which can not be her as your one was on the 1911 census and that one is 16 years younger

The Ada Alice Norman on Ancestry going to Canada went backwards and forwards several times. She had a son Henry Charles Norman with her.
Her mother in the UK lived in Sussex (surname Merry).

Ada was born in Sandhurst, Berks.

Think this is her marriage -

Unless you know from family information that she did go to Canada, I would say that she probably didn't.
A search for Ada Norman births 1869+/-1 gives 20 results so it could be any of them - and that doesn't include any Mrs Ada Normans.

As I explained originally.
According to Ancestry, there are 2 entries on the passenger list for this person, but I can only view the incoming one.
My original request was for someone to find the information on the outgoing one so that I could see whether she could be mine or not.
I´m very grateful for the extra info I have been given & it will be very useful, but all I really need is the details from the outgoing passenger list which Ancestry says exists.

Edit.
Sorry, perhaps I didn´t make it clear that I had found the 2 entries on Ancestry.

If you cannot see her going out to canada how can this person be yours coming back?

wisechild

wisechild Report 26 Jul 2011 11:34

Thanks Janice.
Different Ada Wibberley on the passenger lists, which still leaves me wondering if Ada Alice Norman is "mine"
I shall probably never know.
Thanks for your help though.

Beatrice Wibberley is the daughter of Edward and Ada Wibberley from Kettering district.

wisechild Report 25 Jul 2011 07:30

Any number of reasons.
Maybe she was going to stay with family.
Maybe she & her husband were living in Essex at the time & moved back to Reading later. After all, they were both originally from Derby, so you could ask why they were living in Reading in the first place.
These questions are all ones I am trying to answer.´which is why I asked for help.
Am trying to work out whether she is the same person or not.
Just such a coincidence that a person of the same maiden name & age appears on the passenger list if it´s not her.
When I have had time to check on the info which people have kindly provided, maybe I will be able to work it out.

jax Report 24 Jul 2011 15:24

Yes you explained that her maiden name was Norman. She did'nt live in Essex either so why would you think that someone with that name would be your Ada when she was married with the name Wibberley?

You have been given the deaths of both her and her husband in Reading so why would she be returning to Essex?

Ada Alice Wibberley was born Ada Alice Norman in Derby in 1870.
According to Ancestry an Ada Alice Norman returned from Quebec to Southampton in 1928. She was aged 59 & was heading for 4 Chandler Avenue Barking Road E16.
Right maiden name, right age, Seems too much of a coincidence if it isn´t the same person.
Sorry.I thought I had explained it reasonably clearly in my original post.

I wonder if the Chalaner Avenue on the outgoing is a mistranscription then?

jax Report 24 Jul 2011 14:51

That Ada Alice gives an address in Barking?? I doubt whether she is anything to do with Ada Wibberley

Just my luck for there to be 2 Ada Wibberleys.
Thanks both of you for the info.
The incoming passenger list shows her travelling from Southampton to 4 Chandler Avenue, Barking Road London E16. Suppose that could have been one of her daughters.
