I wonder if anyone would be able to give me a hand out with this one.

Louisa Carvey was born in Swindon in 1904. At some point she emigrated to Canada and died in Winnipeg in 1975, having married and had a child. I have full details of the line coming forward.

I found a likely family on the 1901, but when I came forward there is no sign of Louisa on the 1911 and yes, I have checked the full transcript, so I'm wondering if she went out to Canada as a very small child. However, there do not appear to be any Carveys at all on the 1911 Canada census.

I know someone was doing passenger list look ups cos they found Louisa's future husband and his family going to Canada in 1912. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks

Sheila

I believe there was also a Canadian census taken in 1906, or perhaps that was just some provinces and not all.
Have a look at this website genealogysearch.org/canada
