ARTISS in Canada

[Mike Fisher]

Hi

Can anyone help with any sightings of Frank Lesley Artiss and his wife Annie in Canada
In May 1910 she arrives in Quebec May 1910 to join her husband and they both return from Montreal in 1935 to Kidderminster where they die in 1946 and 1954.

Frank born 1871 Birmingham Annie born 1875

There is a listing for a Frank L Artiss in Henderson's Winnipeg directory, 1922. His address is listed as 206 Parkhill Street, Kirkfield Park, Winnipeg.
Hendersons are like phone books, but without the phone numbers!

Update:
I think that may not be your Frank though as I've just found an article in the Winnipeg Free press dated 25 June 1937 which refers to a Mrs Frank Artiss, President of the Womens auxillary of the Sturgeon Creek community club. Your Frank and his wife were back in England by that date weren't they?

there is a Frank Lesley Artiss wife Annie and a Frank Dunlop Artiss (1903 died 1974 in Ganges BC)and Wife Jean who has a son Laurie Artiss the well known Canadian pin manufacturer.

So one could fit one entry and one fit the other ?

If you can find a birth for Laurie Artiss, Mae Artiss & Frank 20s or 30s ?

Frank & Annie Artiss landed in Liverpool on 27 May 1939 from Montreal on the S.S Duchess of York so that may well have been them in my previous post. In both the Passenger List and Hendersons Directory Frank's occupation is 'engraver'. Their proposed address in the UK was 130 Crestfield (?) Road, Kidderminster.

Yes I found that journey from Ancestry.co.uk I wandered if there was more in Ancestry.com or Findmypast

When Annie sailed to Canada in May 1910 the passenger list shows her destination as Winnipeg.

I found that on Ancestry.com.

I've found another passenger record for just Annie from Liverpool, England to St John, New Brunswick, Canada on 6 January 1920 aboard the Metagama. She states that she had previously resided in Quebec for 10 years from 18/05/09 and that her destination was Kirkfield Park P.O. Winnipeg.

In the 1916 census of Manitoba there is a Leslie and Anny Artiss listed in Victoria Township, Assinboia. He is an engraver, so probably his first name had been omitted and it is the same Frank & Annie.
Looking again at the census document, it seems the enumerator listed the surname as Leslie and their first names as Artiss and Anny!

If it would be of help, I can check out the death details of Frank Artiss who died in BC.

No problem, I'm away this weekend but can look up the following weekend, if that's OK.

Just to complete the info for this trip "home" for Annie - she arrived in Liverpool - 9th October 1919 - on the MELITA - from Montreal - giving her intended address as 29 Cobden Street, Kidderminster

Cheers
