Hi,

1921 census has them in Gibson's Landing, Comox British Columbia.
George is 32, Edith Mary is 33, kids are George Frederick 7, Dorothy Evelyn 4, and Edith Marguerite 3.  The older children were born in Saskatchewan and the youngest was born in British Columbia.  Also living with them is Sylvia Borgenstrom, age 16,  from Finland.  She is a domestic.
