Nicky,

I just read the article Jeff put up, what a sad tragic story  :'(

It says that they went to Indian Head in 1909?  so then they should be in the 1911 Census if that's true?

I just read the extras, as I've been trawling through the Indian Head list for surnames and couldn't see anything even close...It is complete...so now that I know they immigrated in 1909...hmmmmm...did I miss them...Must be a very large transcription or spelling error...
Will try once more... J.J.

Didn't read the bio as am trying to also do other things....did it say they were in indian Head or just that they immigrated in 1909?

ahem, by the way, Jeff...Born in Montmartre...spent teenhood in Davidson...
Hubby's from Prince Albert Sask...Have ancestral origins in Odessa...& they started out in... "Indian Head!"
