Thanks you.

Since then I have found an Arthur Fenton age 29 sailing on the Regina back into Liverpool on 28 March 1927 from Halifax but this one is a farmer (was it a misunderstanding) and he intends to go to Tilbury. Did he fake his emigration, or just not enjoy it, I am sure its the same man, my family thought he died in WW1

There is Lorraine on the Records board offering look ups in USA/Canada you could try her but I think there is a closure date for Canadian Marriages
