Ada ANDREWS, arrived Montreal 1901
« on: Sunday 01 November 09 08:30 UTC (UK) »
Ada ANDREWS (last residence Cambridge, England) was on the SS Vancouver, arriving Portland, Maine, 2 May 1901, en route for Montreal.

It's possible she was my great-aunt Ada Jane ANDREWS (b. Stradishall, Suffolk, 24 Jul 1875), who was a Typist in the 1901 England census.

So far, I've been unable to find any definite trace of her in the Canadian records - can anyone help, please?

Have you checked the 1911 Canadian census at this site and have you definitely ruled her out from the 1911 British census?

Hi Debbie - I've checked both censuses pretty carefully (including the Ancestry index for the Canadian one as well as Automated Genealogy).

Of course Ada may have married between 1901 and 1911. I've checked all the Ada ANDREWS marriages in that range on FreeBMD against the 1911 censuses. I've also searched both censuses for Ada Jane (or just Ada) of about the right age and birth county (England census) or country (Canadian census), without specifying a surname. But I've found no likely people so far...

At least two other women in my tree changed their given names around this time, for no obvious reason. If Ada did that too, I've very little chance of finding her!
