You can search for the military papers.

You can also search the ship manifest for free. (It might tell you what the intended destination was)

Not sure if this is your postings,

But it says the Toronto address you gave above was that of daughter Dorothy Isabel -------- nee JEFFRIES, from abou 15-20 yrs ago...

Cheers

Janice M and Ambly  Smiley

I do thank you both so very much for your time in posting the above.

Yes it is my post on the Birmingham site Ambly.

The finding of Ann and Ada's marriage is very exciting, maybe I will be able to trace any living descendants  Smiley

Is there anyway I am able to trace ADA (snr)'s death?

Again, I thank you for all your help.

Hi Soxie

I had a good search for Ada Snr, and for the other of her children too - but wasn't finding anything.

You might want to consider this web site:
http://pagesofthepast.ca/

It's a site for digitised records  of the Toronto Star newspaper from 1894-2004. It's  a pay site - but on the plus side, you can pay for as little as an hour's access for $3.95 CAN Dollars. You might just be lucky enough to find an obituary of either Ann snr or her married daughters, or their spouses - and with it, a list of names of the family.

Cheers
