Are you sure it's her?

She seems to be dying in her married name:

Thank you both very much.
Bit odd that she went out as Ada Wibberley & came back as Ada Norman.
Her death is registered as Wibberley.
Don´t know who Thomas Norman is, but there are family connections with the North East.
That will give me something to think about.

There is an Ada Wibberley coming up on the Canadian search but I don't have the right membership to get the details. Port of arrival was Halifax, Nova Scotia.

If someone with world membership could look it up for you you'd know if it was her. No Harry or Alice listed although there is a Hy which is probably Henry - not the same arrival port either.

Please could someone have a look to see when
Ada Alice Norman went to Canada.
She was born Derby 1870 & married Harry Wibberley 1895 Reading. They had a daughter Alice Rose, b 1897.
The incoming passenger lists show her returning from Montreal to Southampton in 1928. She was travelling alone & under her maiden name, but the age of 59 indicates that it´s her.
Her husband was a foreman bookbinder in 1901. There are several Harry Wibbleys mentioned in the WWI records, but none seem to be him.He was born about 1870 in Derby, parents, Henry & Rose A.
Puzzled as to why she was using her maiden name & what she was doing alone in Canada.
