Arthur William Farmer, born 1891 England
« on: Friday 19 January 18 11:39 GMT (UK) »
Arthur William Farmer was born 1891 England.  Emigrated to Canada in 1919 with wife Hilda. 
They had 2 children, Hilda born about 1920 and William Henry Farmer born 1922 Edmonton.
I would have expected to see them in the 1921 Canada Census, but cannot find them.
Any help much appreciated.
Thankyou.   Jazgran

Is that Hilda May Farmer married name Ziegler ?  There is an obituary for that lady - August 31, 1920 - July 23, 2013

Hilda was born in Edmonton, and moved with her mother to Liverpool, England. In 1946 she returned to Canada and later found employment in Kitchener at Mutual Life, her co-worker being Harry's sister...................etc etc

I do not see either of them on the Canadian 1921 census.

Just found this, is this the child Hilda, if so there may be a clue that certainly her and her mother didn't stay in Canada but moved back to England  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/114352086

The writing is difficult to read but I think this is Arthur and family in the 1921 census...lines 5, 6, and 7.
