	Sorry, just thought of looking for Ada... Border Crossing from Canada to U.S. Ada Noakes Arrival: July 1923 Age: 38 Birthdate: c1885 Ada, travelling with Linda Noakes (age 9). No occupation for Ada. Race or People: English. Last permanent address: Montreal. Name and address of nearest relative or friend in country whence alien came: (Friend), Elizabeth Wendia??, 187 Galt? Ave, ? Final Destination: Worchester, Massachusetts Whether joining relative or friend: (Husband) Robert George - 119 West Boylston Street Length of Stay? (Cannot read this column description): Permanent Ada: 5'4", Brown Hair, Blue Eyes Linda: Looks like entries were placed in wrong boxes: cannot read "complexion" comment, but hair colour is blue. Imagine the comment in complexion box should go in hair colour and blue should be in eye box. Ada born in "Leister", England Linda born in Montreal, Canada

	Odd that Linda was born in Montreal, yet they weren't supposed to have been there yet. Also, I'm surprised that if Robert was in Canada in 1915, that he doesn't have an attestation paper: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/index-e.html Perhaps since both Robert and Ada's years of birth were different that what you state, Linda's might be incorrect as well. (Although she must have been fairly close to 9 years old, as it would be quite easy to tell that she wasn't much older or younger.)

Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 208 Send Message	Lisa J. Many thanks for all those details although the birth dates seem variant it is certainly the correct family, will study your replies in more detail. Much appreciated Jon

	Lisa is correct in thinking Verdun is in Quebec. It is a suburb of Montreal, about 3 km SE of downtown, on the riverfront.
