Is there any proof they arrived in 1904? I have a Lilian Roberts Harper born in Cleethorpes March 1905. Initially assumed she could be Elizabeth’s daughter. Will order the birth certificate.
Thanks again

Info found by googling

From 1901 arrival years were added to census returns.

Until 1908 emigrants that arrived in American ports on their way to Canada were not recorded at the border.

To check whether the mother was married, look at the birth on the GRO site. If no MMN recorded, she wasn’t

But if Elizabeth migrated in 1904…………….

I did check it out on GRO and no mother’s maiden name. Like you say if migrated 1904. Think Lilian is still one of my lot though. As most Harper’s in Cleethorpes are at that time.

1921 census says Harry and Elizabeth immigrated in 1904.

Lizzie is still with her parents Robert and Mary Jane in Cleethorpes in 1901.

Just received birth certificate for Lilian Roberts Harper born 1905. Elizabeth is definitely her mother as same address 3 Segmere Street. So she couldn’t have gone to Canada in 1904???

What is Lilian's exact DOB? (In Apr/May/June qr 1905)

Elizabeth must have travelled to Canada between that date and Albert Henry's birth in Ontario on 24 June 1906.

However, I can't see any record of that on Ancestry, either as Harper or as Roberts.

11th March 1905.
