hi everyone
looking for more info on Emma Baker b1884 England...Emma is found with husband William Chads and young family living in Roberts Street, Winnipeg, census info says she immigrated to Canada 1897...would love to know when and what ship she arrived on....was she a "home child"?
In 1911  census i can't find Emma, but her children are found in a childrens home,Rivers Ave, Winnipeg...what happened to Emma and kids...I know that her husband settled in Scotland about 1911/12 and died there. thanks for reading this.

 - shows the marriage of Emma Baker and William Granville Chads, certificate would tell you more about Emma.

http://www.findmypast.com/passengerListPersonSearchStart.action - has an entry for Emma Baker, b. abt 1884, going to Canada in 1897.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,258889.0.html - I see you already have some of this information. As they were in a children's home they might have been adopted out... hard to find in that case.
