Cyril Walter Cuthbert born 1907 in Lincolnshire, parents Walter and Rosa Harriet Cuthbert.
In 1925 he arrived in Canada, Quebec as a farmer.
By 1934 he is back in England with his wife Elizabeth Susan. Their children have mmn Creighton.
I think I got Elizabeth Susan b Ireland with her family already in Canada, but can't find a marriage in UK for them.
Thanks

Cyril gave the Land Settlement Branch in Calgary, Alberta, as his destination. Did he ever get there? Did he marry there?
-----
The children are not blocked out on the 1939 register.
Cyril was born 13 Feb 1934
Kathleen was born 7 March 1938
1939 didn't ask for birthplaces. :(
Are there birth records for them? Where?

a tree says both children were born in Glanford Brigg, Lincolnshire.

Thanks for your interest. It's a different family in Canada this one was born in 1890.
On the arrivals list for Canada , father is Walter Cuthbert, East Street, Hibaldsow , Brigg which is the area they lived before.
I've been trying to find the death of Walter Cuthbert and if he was still alive in 1939 but no joy with that either.

Well it seems Ive been searching for a long time. I'd completely forgotten about this.

Trying to put Cyril and Elizabeth in the same place at the same time, I looked for the Creightons.
The Creightons might have left Tully, Fermanagh, soon after 1911. They had a child Francis 14 Jul 1912 there, then Letitia died 10 Feb 1915, but her informant was her son John, not James, present at death.
But where did they go? I don't see any of them in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, in 1939. I looked for exact name only in the 1921 census of Canada and didn't find them in Calgary or Quebec. You might have the patience to try variant spellings. It is at

As for the marriage:
I tried freebmd for the marriage of Cyril W Cuthbert and Eliz. S Creighton - not found. And I tried at ancestry.com for their marriage 1930 +/- 5 years, Quebec, Calgary, and anywhere - not found.

Elizabeth Susan Cuthbert died in 1981. Dob 20 August 1906.

- there's one possible marriage here that shows up for a Cyril Cuthbert (about 1931) - you would need an account to see more information.

I have an account and it didn't require credits to see these results. I searched for each name separately and found this:

Thats great, I did wonder if he stopped off in Ireland on his way back. Obviously I was searching on the wrong Irish site.
Thanks.
