I hope this is helpful: perhaps you know this but 'Essondale' is the name of an institution: http://www.bcmhas.ca/AboutUs/History.htm
Also 'Sapperton' is an area that part of New Westminster, close to the River and the railway.

Hi Jan,
I found the marriage and deaths on the BC Vital Events Index so I will look them up when I am next at the library. I also had a look for Ernest and Maud on the passenger lists and I think I found them departing Liverpool in May 1921 along with 5 yr old son Ernest and 4 yr old daughter Evelyn. Ernest was a painter, last address in UK was 3 Randolph St, Lightbourne Rd, Moston.
I also found an entry for Ernest and Maud in 1948, he was a labourer, last address in UK 143 Randolph St Moston, Manchester - but they are crossed out so they might have taken a different ship home. Also on the 1948 list, on another page, is an entry for E. Ambrose, age 36, railwayman, last address 3 Randolph St, Moston along with his wife, initial E. as well.
Ernest and Maud appear again in 1959, Ernest is retired, last address 3 Randolph Street. I'll send the images to you shortly.
There are birth indexes for little Ernest and Evelyn on FreeBMD, registered in Prestwich. I may have more trouble finding Ernest and Maud's children as the recent records here are rather restricted but I'll have a look.

Hi Lynwen,
This is very interesting, We did know a little about Ernest & Maud, as they came to Australia on a world trip in the mid1960's. As far as we knew they always lived in White Rock after their migration to Canada, but we've since found that they travelled back to Manchester for a couple of visits. Those addresses for 1948 and 1959 were probably part of their visits.
Thanks for your assistance

Hi bikermickau,
In relation to your notes on the Drinkwater family in 1911 census shown as including
Christina May 3 and Vincent 1.
Wonder if you are able to assist me further, we're trying to work out where these two
children fit in? Do we have an address for the family then?
Only daughter Florence migrated to Canada, and the rest of their family were born
in Canada.

Hi Lynwen,
Thank you so much for your assistance, it is quite strange where these two extra children fit in, i.e. Christina & Vincent.
The fact that they lived in Manchester, I suspect that they may have been another member of the family's children.
Having looked at the Bowell Funeral Home records, it is quite clear they are not named

I don't have access to 1911 Census images, so can't help you there, I was adding to Carol's comment on what she found in the index for 1911 Census.
I suggest you check the 1911 index and then pay the credit/s needed to view and copy that image.
It's odd that they would leave 2 young children behind.

Hi Lynwen,
Yes, I agree with you about these two children, having checked the 1881 census, I see that Robert Webb Drinkwater had two other brothers , so they could quite easily have been a niece & nephew.
I look forward to seeing a copy of the notice from the Vancouver Sun. Wonderful information you can get from Canada, much more detailed, you could say. Thank you so much
Regards
jan
