I am unable to find any information other than immigration details. My aunt Catherine Lonsdale b. 10 Aug 1905, Coatbridge, Scotland arrived in Canada in 1923. she went to work for Agnes Fairweather, wife of Justice J.H.A.L. Fairweather, Rothesay, New Brunswick.
On 3 Feb 1929 my uncle Thomas Lonsdale arrived in Canada and his immigration record shows his passage was paid by his sister Mrs Anthony Passens, Stanley Street, Montreal (I am presuming that this is Catherine).
A daughter was born to Catherine in 1929. This daughter was known by the surname Sheppard. (An actress who married actor John Howe in Ottawa 1951). Catherine was married to Harry Sheppard but he was Mary's stepfather. Harry was a boxing promoter in Montreal (1940s) and London (1950s). I believe he was also Branch President of the BESL (lately Canadian Legion), Montreal in 1944. (A lot of newspaper archive about him)
Any information on Catherine, Anthony Passens, Harry Sheppard or Mary Sheppard appreciated.
