She seems to have made many trips back to the uk so maybe she was in the uk in 1921 too

She came back to Britain in 1938:

Then she went back to Canada in 1939 - sensibly just before WW2 . No family with her:

A tree on Ancestry says Eva died in Toronto in 1951, and Florence died in Toronto in 1985.
No proof offered.

It also says Hilda died in Collingwood, Ontario in 2013.

No information given as to whether they married or not.

I am seeking if at all possible the 1921 census details which I have been unable to establish

A possible relation ??
With Mrs R Boak -

Hilda Boak

Birth Place: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Marriage Date: 30 Apr 1935
Marriage Place: Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada
Father: John Boak
Mother: Eva Boak
Spouse: Frederick Richards

I suspect Shirley's right, and that they were in Britain in 1921.

This will be Hilda's death referred to in the Ancestry tree:

Hilda Richards

Children: Dorothy Kokko of Edmonton. Cherished


Her obituary is here:

https://tinyurl.com/y8k6xebk

Unfortunately it only mentions her husband, children, grand-children and great- grand-children - no mention of siblings or parents, so no proof she was Hilda Boak.

(Well, apart for her husband's name, which matches the marriage record, that is!)

I see you already knew a lot of what we've posted, Mark:

and other Ancestry message board threads.

The op was regarding the 1921 census ....

You say in your OP that young Eva was born c1903

She is not with Mother Eva 37 and sisters Gertrude 10 and Hilda 2 on the 1914 passenger list.

The 1926 passenger list shows young Eva as aged 9 so born c 1917

It may help when looking for ages on census - did the first Eva die or was there a mistake in the OP?

You know the family we don't which is why folks posted info as it came up as a guide to us helpers

On the face of it it looks like she may have been in the uk in 1921 as she made quite frequent trips over

None of them come up on the 1921 census
