Please could I have help tracing Julius Spencer Wills and his family. Julius married Edith Harriet King in 1907 in Tonbridge, Kent. They had 2 children, Jack 1908 who died as an infant and Margaret May 1909.
Julius, Edith and Margaret left for Quebec, Canada on 23/5/1911.
That’s the easy bit.
On 17/4/1912 Mrs Edith Wills and Miss Margaret Wills travel from Bristol to Halifax NS. It says Margaret has not been to Canada before and Edith has lived in Canada for 6 months in 1911 and intends to live in Winnipeg permanently.
I also have a pursers sheet from 1916, which has Edith H Wills and Margaret Wills on the list. I don’t have the passenger list so don’t know if this is an inward or outward journey. It states Edith has lived in Winnipeg for 5 years. It has no age for Edith and Margaret is 5, she should be 9 by now.
I have not been able to find the family on the Manitoba 1916 census. So any help with this family would be really appreciated. I am pretty sure they stayed in Canada as I remember my Uncle writing to relatives there, but of course didn’t think to ask then who they were and now it is too late.
