Thank you Kucinta

Just need to find the elusive Thomas now, we know he runs off to Canada in Dec 1912 but it looks like he left Harriet even earlier.

Many thanks for your help.

Forgot to add, Harriet had been married 6 years and had one child, still living, according to the census image.

But weren't your John & Maria living at 111 Dersingham Ave., Manor Park County, Essex on the 1911 census? But the Thomas who arrived in America in 1913 gives his father John's address as 30 Antill Row, London.

But how do you know for certain that he is your Thomas? Have you linked him definitely to the parents or the right address? Earlier you said he was definitely the one who was married to Issabella in Glengarry County.

Back to the drawing board - however we know he is in Canada around the same time.

Detroit Border Crossings and Passenger and Crew Lists, 1905-1957

Name: Thomas H Reeves
Arrival Date: 15 Jan 1913
Age: 49
Birth Date: abt 1864

Birth Country: England
Gender: Male
Race/Nationality: English

Port of Arrival: Detroit, Michigan
Departure Contact: Father John Reeves - address 13 Anthill Row, London

Microfilm Roll Number: M1478_84

Further info:
His occupation was laborer and last address was Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He had $50 on him. He'd previously been in US in transit 1882-1883 and 1885-1896. He'd been to Argyll (NY), Chicago, Denver & Portland. It looks like he'd arrived this visit on the SS Ascania in Detroit on 23/12/1912. He'd paid his own passage and his onward destination was Detroit (he gave no definite address). He was 5 ft 7 1/2 in tall, Had grey hair, blue eyes and was partially bald.

I think you're jumping to too many conclusions, Debra, thinking that every Thomas Reeve you see is the same fellow. This is the one who was in Glengarry County, Ontario in 1891 and in Vermont, USA in 1900:

The family who were in Glengarry on the 1891 census are in Vermont, USA on the 1900 census. Thomas is a widower and he has his parents living with him. They are Ellis born June 1834, England and Maria born Sep. 1833, England.

The one in Glengarry, Ontario (I was there today!) had wife Issabella, 29 and children Maria, 4, Elsie, 2, and Ellis, 4 months, all born Ontario.
Edit: This was the 1891 census that you asked about.

Vera - thank you I have now figured it out. Have been able to piece together Thomas's life as follows:-

To summaries:-

Thomas born 1863 to John & Maria Reeve

Thomas appears on 1871 & 1881 UK census.

c1882 he clears off to Canada

sometime before the 1901 census he returns to the UK

1901 Thomas living with his parents – showing as single.

1905 Thomas marries Harriett Dowler

1906 Ethel Harriett Reeves born

1913 Thomas clears off to Canada again

Sometime before 1920 Thomas returns

1920 Frank Reeves born

c1926 Thomas runs off again presumably back to Canada
