Hi Margaret and Jonesey thank you so much for the info you have gave me.

I have just found tree on ancestry and found Wilfred died in 1927 Birmingham he died on the 27 Nov he must have to been to ill to travel or he died unexpectally after his wife left.

I have emailed the person so hopefully they will will get back to me.

I have found a death in 1945 in Birmingham for a Leah Hawkley the age fits so i wonder if Leah came back. I will get the cert.

Thank you both again Zena

Ha! I was just going to suggest that Wilfred died in England because I couldn't find his death in the Montreal records. Also can't find any records in Montreal for Theophilus or Leah.
