  • Where was he going?

    This is from Canadian Passenger Lists on ancestry. Sorry the image is fuzzy but the original is not good quality.

    3 March 1909, Hugh Glover [2nd name on page] arrives into St John, New Brunswick from Liverpool.

    The last column says where he is heading for. I haven't a clue what it might be. All I know is he ended up in Whitewater Community, Manitoba on the 1916 census of that province. His wife and adopted son arrived in the November that same year and the passenger list says she was heading to Elgin, Manitoba to live with her husband and 7 months is mentioned which I assume means the length of time he had already been in the country as the March to November is 7 months. The fuzzy word is not Elgin, Whitewater or Manitoba.

    Thanks in advance.

    It almost looks as if it could say Vancouver!

        I think you could be right. I tried last night but couldn't get past thinking the first letter was T.

          Yes, last night I thought it began with a T.
          Came in with fresh eyes this morning, and before reading the replies, I thought straightaway it said Vancouver. Really clear once you think "Vancouver!"

            Thanks so much everybody. I also thought it started with a T. I can see it now. He obviously never made it that far! They are still in Manitoba in 1925 and the adopted son married there in 1930 and he and his wife are buried there too.
            I wish I could find deaths/burials for Hugh and Elizabeth. An ancestry tree has them both with a death year of 1951 but no sources not even a full date or a place.
