Hi All,

Lily Marie Gazey born 1919, Birmingham, went to Canada in 1924 with her mother and siblings to join up with her father who was working out there.

I have been told by her husband that Lily returned to England aged 13 (c. 1932) and settled in Dagenham. Lily's father worked in the motor industry and my theory is that they came back so he could work at the Fords factory which opened in 1931.

Anyway, I was wondering if there would be any record of her entering England c. 1932? Can I search online? I have tried googling but am coming up blank!

Thanks in advance.
