I posted this info on the England board

The 1911 census of Ireland lists a daughter, age 3. That would mean she was still with her husband Benjamin in 1908 or later. I don't think the passenger in 1905 is your Alice Bates. At some time you may want to spend the money to rule that out but I wouldn't do that at this point.

Thomas Duckworth, 45, b. England, mechanic, married Margaret Johnson, widow, 48, maiden name Robinson 8 Feb 1915 at Toronto, York although the marriage license indicates Thomas was a resident of Hamilton since 01 June 1914.  This ties in with the attestation papers linked by J.J.   

Not sure where the Benjamin as a middle name you referred to  comes from as it's not listed in the attestation papers or on the marriage license .

I found her!!! Joined Myheritage.com & again could find no sign of her, then I searched newspaper articles & voila! She married an Archibald Cunningham April 21st, 1920 in Moose Jaw Province, Sasketchewan. He must have resided in Paris, Kentucky USA or originally came from there as the wedding was reported in The Bourbon newspaper May 25th, 1920.
They are buried together in Woodlawn Cemetery in Saskatoon. They died years apart, she was older than him. Even with this information, cannot find much else about them.
Still, a great breakthrough!
Thanks again for your contributions.  :)

Could be a possible - Canada Voters List 1935 - shows Archie Cunningham - Switchman - and Mrs Archie Cunningham - Married woman.

There are other entries in later years but since Alice died in 1938 - couldn't be sure its the same Archibald/Archie unfortunately.
