Canada / PICKNELL family from Sussex UK to Canada. 1913-onwards
« on: Friday 19 July 13 19:08 BST (UK) »
Albert Edward Picknell b 1879, marries a Martha Boxshall in 1905 Sussex. I know he left the UK on 27 March 1913 bound for Toronto. their was no entry made for his wife Martha or their daughter Edith Annie born Bexhill 1906.
Albert was killed in Belgium 6 June 1916. He had enlisted into the 28th Canadian Infantry. Why did not his wife and family travel? Also his brother Charles b1883 Bexhill enlisted 27 Sept. 1914 into Canadian Infantry. 6th Coy, 6th Batt. No record of him emigrating or returning to UK. I think he died in 1961 in the UK and never married. On his enlistment papers his father is recorded to be a R Tolhurst?
Both Albert & Charles record on their enlistment papers 7yrs Territorial service, 1st Sussex R.Engineers. Any idea where I may obtain any records of this service?
I think Martha remarries in Battle Sussex 1918 to a SC Saunders. I think Martha emigrates to Quebec Canada in 1923 with her mother. No idea what happened to Edith A Picknell?
Any ideas please, your comments will be very appreciated.
