Thank you Margp! I thought I still had some credits left with FindMyPast but alas it seems I had to subscribe for more.

Hi Shelley

Can you give me the passenger details of when James came to Canada, he must have been held somewhere, before he left for Canada, I wonder if Worcester Archives have any records of this.

Nellie and Jack Dench had a daughter Eva

this might be Nellie on 1911 in Warmstry Slip, Worcester
Elleen (Ellen) Ballinger age 24 b Kidderminster

There's also an Edith May Cook (or as she turns up on the index Edith Maybook) aged 21 b Kidderminster in the same area

It is transcribed correctly on Ancestry, as Edith May Cook

Edith & Ellen were in the same household in the last census.  If Edith May Cook was Emily's daughter - where is she in 1891 when she would only have been a few months old

Nellie was registered as Nellie - not Ellen but it's too coincidental they are in the same household

Jack Dench died in WW1 - Eva was the only daughter of that marriage

http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/1609690/DENCH,%20JACK

And just look at Nellies address - we have found the letter writer but there is no later marriage for Nellie to account for the young children she mentions

Nellie died as Dench in 1950 in Worcester
