Edith May WISE was born 23 Nov 1902 in Hamilton Wentworth Ontario.
Frederick George Percival HENNEN was born 11 Sept 1895 in Woking Surrey England.
Frederick emigrated to Canada after 1901 when he was still living in Woking.
Can anyone find their marriage and if they had children for me? Also the year of emigration if possible?
Thank you in advance for looking. :D :D

Looks like he served in WW1 and was living in Saskatchewan at the time he enlisted. He seems to still be living in Luseland Sask in 1935 according to the voters list?

There is information at this link about how to order his complete military file.
Are you sure they married in Ontario? Assuming I have found the correct birth for Edith, with father Auldridge and mother Adelia (?), this family is living in Saskatchewan in the 1911 and 1916 censuses. I don't see a marriage in the online Ontario records which are currently available to the public up to 1928 only due to privacy laws.
Here is a link to Sask Vital Records which explains what is currently available in that province. In both Sask and Ont, births are protected for 100 years due to privacy laws so you would need to search for newspaper announcements or other resources for births of any children. If it is your Percy in Luseland in 1935, the local library may be able to help with resources related to the time. Unfortunately, his wife is only listed as Mrs Percy Hennen on the voters list.

The 1921 Canada census is due to be released next year and that may be of some help to you.

Hi PB,
You are correct with Edith Wise´s parents, her mother´s name was Adelia Bell Brigham before she married.
I am not certain as to where they lived in Canada. You are most probably correct to say that they all lived in Saskatchewan :)

You can search for the Wise family for FREE at this link to the 1911 census. Go to Saskatchewan and put Wise in the surname search. Then look down the list for Auldridge. Click on the page for the transcription, then split view at the top of this page for the original image.

You can also look for the family in the 1901 census on this same website. They would still be in Ontario at that time.
If that is the correct Percy who joined the CEF, did you know he also had a (presumed) brother in Canada? Here is his attestation to the CEF.

You are right again PB :D
His brother Albert Victor Hennen emigrated 8 Mar1913 to Canada on the S S Canada after their parents died by 1905 in Woking Surrey. He lived in Hamilton Ontario and married Violet May Russell there in 26 Jul 1923. She was also born in England in 1903, I do not know when she arrived in Canada.

I think your Frederick came to Canada via Portland Maine (a common route when the St Lawrence River was frozen). There is a 14 year old Fred P Hennen arriving Portland 27 Mar 1910 aboard the Dominion which sailed from Liverpool 17 Mar 1910. He is with a large party of similar-aged boys travelling to Hamilton Ontario. This appears to be similar to the group Albert immigrated with.
PB

That looks good, the name and age fit in with my information.
Can you say when the Canada sailed from Liverpool in 1913?
Muffin
-
The Canada left Liverpool 08 Mar 1913 and arrived Portland Maine 18 Mar 1913. Interesting that both brothers appear to have followed the same route to Canada.

Thank you very much for your help PB 8)
One last question, does anyone know of an on-line Canadian Newspaper Archive ?
Muffin41
-
You're very welcome :).
I don't believe there is any central online newspaper archive. What is on line seems to be for individual newspapers. For example, the Toronto Star archives can be found at 'pagesofthepast', which is an inexpensive pay site.
I think your best option is to google for libraries in the areas you are looking at. Luseland, for example, is found in this link under branches. I would also consider contacting this umbrella library organization through the 'ask a librarian' on the link. They may have more resources than than the tiny Luseland branch is likely to have.

Library and Archives Canada has copies of just about all Canadian newspapers, if I remember correctly, but they are not available on line.

I will see what I can find and leave the topic open for a while in case someone has any more information.

Hi,
In case you don't already have it... 1881 census for Adeline (Adelia B) Brigham with parents William and Margaret and grandfather William. Looks like her parents were also born in Ontario.

Thank you again for the valuable details :)
I am still looking to the place of death for Frederick George Percival Hennen who died 20 May 1970.
In 1935 he was living in Luseland, Regina, Saskatchewan.
His wife Edith May Wise died 1964 in Florida.

Hi,
According to his WW1 service file (now digitized) your Frederick went by the name of Percy and
he died 20 May 1970 in Hamilton, Ontario. This file is very slow to load.
http://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?op=pdf&app=CEF&id=B4268-S034
From a previous post of yours about Albert Victor Hennen, you may wish to check with the
Woodland Cemetery, Hamilton, Ontario as Percy may be there as well.
