I don't know if anyone can help me but Samuel John W Acton 26th May 1883 Devonport must have married Beatrice Eleanor Luckes 16th June 1886 Stoke Damerel as they had children together.
Samuel sailed to Quebec in 1906, I found this on the Canadian Passengers List Ancestry. in 1907 Samuel and Beatrice had banns read at St Michaels Church, Devonport (now part of Plymouth) Devon I found this on Find My Past. But I cannot find a marriage.
In 1909 and 1910 they had Edith and Murial in Alberta, Canada. In 1911 they had Leonard and were living back in Devonport and on the 1911 Census that is how I know Edith and Murial were born in Canada.
Apart from Samuel sailing to Quebec on his own as far as I can see, I cannot find the family toing and froing from England to Canada.
Would someone have banns read and then not marry, I had always assumed before finding the banns they met and married in Canada even though they are both from Devonport. Could banns be read if the prospective groom is not in this country?
It has been a puzzle for quite a while made worse by recently finding the banns I think?
Thanks in advance for any help received.
