My great aunt Ruby Pauline Stanford married Charles Gilbert just before the 1914-18 war and they emigrated to Canada where they set up a saddle and harness business in Toronto. I gather they were inducted into the Hackney Carriage Society Hall of Fame a few years ago but apart from that, I know little about them. Does anyone have any information?
Michael Stanford.

Can you give us some dates and any family info please

Looks like Ruby on a return home:

She's travelling alone and heading to 17 Penelope Street, Pendleton, Manchester.

EDIT: The arrival Gins posted above was Pauline's return from this visit.

The return to Canada stated that she had first moved there in 1913, arriving Halifax.
Her home address was 341 College Street, Toronto, which is where her husband Chas was.
Her nok in England is given as mother Mrs Stanford at 7 The Square, Isleworth, London.

I didn't ask a question to you Mike.

Ah, you've done a sneaky edit! ;-)

Not having any joy finding the marriage of Ruby and Charles ......

This article mentions Charles jnr so I guess they had a son:
