Can anyone help with this please?
Harriet Pike born 1882 in Gillingham married James Venemore on 23rd September 1906 at Gillingham. I cannot find a birth record in England for James but the marriage record says his father, George was a Baker, as was James.
In 1907 Harriet and James travelled on the Tunisian to Montreal, Canada - their destination is Quebec. There is a note next to their names 'To Be Deported'. What would this mean? Does it mean James was born in Canada or in the UK?
James was born c1880 and, presumably, died between 1909 (they had a son in 1909) and 1911. There is a James Croxford Venemore with father George in Leighton Buzzard that fits with the birth and death dates but this appears to be a red herring. James Croxford Venemore married Minnie Frost in 1902 and it appears that Minnie died in 1904 but Harriet's James is shown as a batchelor on the marriage record in 1906.
Harriet returned to the UK in 1910 with her two children but James was not with them and I have found no other record of him returning. In the 1911 census Harriet is shown as a widow.
If anyone could help with James's birth and/or death records it would help a lot and I would be very grateful.
