Trying to find out what happened to Horace West Handford and his wife Emily (nee Garside).
He emigrated in 1910 to Winnipeg, Manitoba saying he intended to farm. She emigrated the following year with their children Eric Horace Handford and Mary Doreen listed as Molly on passenger list - it says she is going to Moose Jaw, Skas. to join her husband. She is a school teacher.
Also when Horace went in 1910 there is also a Harold Garside listed on the list next to him which could be Emily's brother. Any further information after 1910/1911 would be appreciated or details of where to find out more. Many thanks.

THANK YOU to everyone who has posted a reply so far - that's amazing. Emily was my husband's great, grand aunt and I shall now be able to add all this to the family tree. It is lovely to hear they made a new life in Canada and that they had so many grandchildren - I would love to be able to track them down!!
Thanks again for all help given so far.
Regards. Sue

Hello Melanee - I began this post some time ago now. I haven't done any research on this tree for a while though. As I mentioned Emily Garside was the sister of my husband's great grandfather. I have done a lot of research on the Garside's so please feel free to ask me questions about them. Bear with me though whilst I go back to the tree and reacquaint myself with the information. Best wishes Sue
