Edith Marion Queenie Gorring/William James Wall
« on: Saturday 21 March 09 14:19 UTC (UK) »

Hello

I know that this couple were granted a divorce in 1928 in Ontario.  My query is whether her family actually lived in Canada?  Her parents Rosina Amelia (Rose) nee Mears and father Albert Gorring from Plumstead in Kent, where Edith was born seem to disappear after 1901 in England. Although I have seen a Rose Gorring of the right age on a ship 'Samaria' in 1951, I think she may have been going to visit her sister Lily Frisby nee Mears in BC.

Any help would be much appreciated

Albert / 37  Rose / 35  Queenie  / 10

The passenger manifest lists  that they had been to Canada previously.  It looks like 1906/1908 to BC  and listed as Returned Canadians.   Their destination was listed as BC.  I cannot read the handwriting for the post office but it starts with the letter R.  Religious denomination is given as C of E.

There is a passenger list that has Albert, Rose and Queenie Gorring arriving in Montreal on 18 May 1906 on board the Lake Champlain. Also on the same ticket number is William Davies. They were going to Revelstoke, British Columbia. Here's a link to the image at Library and Archives Canada (family starts on line 31):
http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e147/e003660040.jpg

Here's a link to the passenger list referred to by Ambly and kptz from Library and Archives Canada (family starts on line 10):
http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e143/e003558934.jpg
Albert, Rose, Queenie and Thomas were on the Virginian which arrived in Quebec on 27 Aug 1909. They were returning to Revelstoke.

At Ancestry, I found a passenger list for the Ascania that had Rose Gorring travelling with her sons Thomas, 20, and Victor, 9. They arrived in Quebec on 11 Sep 1927. The passenger list indicates that both Thomas and Victor were born in Revelstoke. The passenger list indicates they were returning to Albert at an address in Toronto. They had been to England to visit Rose's sister, Elizabeth Mortimer. Thomas' occupation is listed as tinsmith.

Thank you so much KPTZ and Jacquie - this is soooooooo helpful.  Jacquie you have also solved another mystery by telling me her sisters name  Kiss There are seven sisters here, nearly all of them came to Canada.  Elizabeth married a man called James Thomas Ford and he died in South Africa during the second Boer War.  I was sure she would marry again but had not been able to trace her, now I think I will be able to as you have given me her new marriage name, thank you. 

Could I ask another question about one of the other sisters, her name is Alice Ellis.  I know that she is living in England in 1911 with her two children (she has three) and George William Ellis b: 1879, her husband is living in Vancouver with another sister Lily Frisby.  I feel sure that she would have joined George at some point but can't find her passage leaving here and my Ancestry is limited subscription. 

The other sisters are Emma Frisby, Agnes Mary (May) Terry, she sadly died in BC in 1907 and Lily arrived in 1907, now I know that at least Rose was in the country and perhaps with her when she died.  I think the two remaining sisters stayed in England but it's possible they too came over.  My aunt told me that if our Granddad hadn't died in WW1, they would also have gone, he was one of four brothers.  I so appreciate your help.    Wink  Grin

I found an entry that has Alice Ellis departing from Avonmouth/Bristol*, England on the Royal Edward on 30 Apr 1913 and arriving in Quebec on 7 May 1913. Travelling with her are Ethel, 9, and John, 6. They are going to Vancouver. Here's the image from Library and Archives Canada (starts line 10):
http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e144/e003585701.jpg

*The Canadian passenger list database at Ancestry says Avonmouth, FMP says Bristol.

Hi Buttercup
Do you have any details of the divorce.  William was my (Great) Uncle Bill and I have been told that it was an annulment rather than a divorce.  All I have been able to trace is that it was a private bill in Canada, but I guess that was the only way to end a marriage then.  Also do you have details of any other marriages for Queenie or dates of birth for the children?  I have found dates for Bill's second marriage and the child from that marriage from a tree on Ancestry.  I haven't found any voyage dates that i can be sure are William but that is a much more common name.

Hi Mew

Do you know what the circumstances would be for an annulment?  If they were married in 1919 and separated in 1928 they would have been together for quite some time, can you get an annulment after such a period I wonder?  I don't know any more about Queenie or any children - do you know if she did remarry?  I only know he was Willam James Wall, do you know where he was born?

I have found no way of tracing any of the Gorrings really after arrival in Canada - I know that they were in Toronto but can't find much more. 

Do you live in Canada - I'm sorry I can't help more

Hi
No I live in Kent.
I understood that Queenie had committed bigamy, but like all family stories you can't be sure till you get to the source.  Bill was born in Erith, Kent 1895 and died in Califonia 1984.  His 2nd wife was Elizabeth Maude Webb (known as Maude) -thought i had a date for this but I don't.  Bill had 3 children at least one of them with Maude.  He often visited his sisters in Kent/SE London and after Maude died he travelled a lot between England, Canada and USA.
Do you know for sure that the marriage to Queenie was 1919? where?
Which part of the family is your main interest?

I'm in Sussex.

Edith Maryon Q Gorring (Queenie) was born in 1899 Woolwich.  The paperwork I got (which I have somewhere) state her wedding date and they married out there .  It would have been difficult for her to have been married twice at such a young age I would have thought - definately intrigued though! States divorce in the email I got from them!

Part of email from Canada:
'Enclosed is an invoice for a copy of the Divorce listed in the Statutes of Canada.  As our PayPal capabilities are not quite ready to be up and running, could you please send a cheque or money order to the Alberta Family Histories Society, Attention: Queries, 712 - 16th Avenue N.W., Calgary AB  T2M 0J8.  As soon as we receive your payment the information will be sent to you via email attachment unless you specify otherwise.'

I am interested in the Gorring's as Queenie's mother was my G Aunt.

I looked again and I think you'll find that she had an affair!  She was a spinster when she married so it couldn't have been bigamous.

Hope that helps
