Could someone with a world Ancestry subscription please look at a Canadian border crossing for Sidney J Burn,born 1888 England who give his residence as China.I can only look at UK arrivals on my sub.
I am trying to work out when his wife and two elder sons travelled to China and am hoping this will provide a clue.There is a further reference to a Sidney J burn on a canadian passenger list,which may or may not be him.
I have found the Burn family arriving in England in 1925:
Sidney Joseph merchant age 37
Rose Eva home duties age 36
Arnold T (Thaxter) age 12
Sidney T (Thaxter) age 10
Ralph Stephen age 5
Derrick J S age 1
Any information will be a bonus.Derrick J S is my Aunt's late husband and until we started sorting her papers,we had no idea he was born in Shanghai 
I think the 1925 trip was to bring the family home.Sidney J seems to have made several return trips to Shanghai,according to findmypast index.
Thanks
Barbara

Wow!
Thanks so much ,this is definitely him because I can remember going to see Mrs Burn as a small child - she lived in Worthing.
Weird that he gives China as his intended permanent residence.I always got the impression that Uncle John's father died when he was a baby .Maybe they split up?
I would love to have the entries - will PM you.
Thanks again
Barbara

Thanks Nell,
all the images came through - what a bonus! I can't wait to tell my cousins.
What I find so amazing is that my Uncle never mentioned any of this to me,or any of us,come to that.He was only a baby,I know,but his brothers weren't.......and it would have been fascinating.
Much appreciated 
Barbara
