Hi All thankyou so much for all the imformation you have given me its got me through that brick wall I think the trip back to Canada in 1913 could be because Henry Joseph Flower died in 1913 so he must have come back for the funeral of his father .and see the family
I must now see if I am able to get any of the Certs from Canada and fine the first trip to Canada
Thank you all again Pam Dale

A number of Ancetry trees have him residing in Ontario in 1907 where he married Maud Jane Baker on 27 April 1907 (1882-1921). The 1913 departure presumably is therefore a returning trip not an initail one. It shows his residence in Toronto in 1940 as a Widower. Death it says was in Canada but no date given
