Hi Marie, Sorry I posedt that reply before I saw your post on 1919.

Yes we think Elizabeth went to Canada too, Mum say's my gran and grandad was going to go too but changed their minds and came to Nottingham instead. Maybe Elizabeth didn't go and it was Emily that gran used to visit in Canada as none of my dad's brother's are alive I have no one to ask.
