Can anyone find Edwin BUSH for me?

Can anyone solve this problem for me? Edwin BUSH was born in Carlton-in-Cleveland (Stokesley) N. Yorkshire 3qtr. 1876. Around 1880/1881 his mother (Jane), and some of her children, emigrated to Winnipeg, Canada. The remainder (older) children travelled to Canada a year or so later. I can't find one of the children, Edwin BUSH, anywhere after his birth. Edwin's mother and family are listed on the 1881 census, living in Winnipeg and the rest of the children are on the census in England. Edwin is not listed in the census for Canada, England or the US. Looking on "1837Online" I can't find his death between 1876 and 1882. What happened to him? All I can think of is that because he was only a youngster when his mother emigrated, he probably went with them and he may have died on the journey. Does anyone have any bright ideas?

Nudge. I asked this question last September, but I still can't find any trace of young Edwin Bush after his birth. Can anyone help?

Just an idea: Type the name into google with quotation marks :"Edwin Bush" and then add any other search terms eg Yorkshire, family history etc. It may throw up thousands of hits but there is always the possibility that you will stumble over something! Jan
