Thelma, have just seen the post, thank you so much for the info, I had found the birth of Bessie, which is one of mine, and now I've found Alfred and Edith in the 1906 too, Alice who married Daniel Cross is Alfreds sister, so many thanks for that too,
best wishes,
Newbie

I'm just checking out the photo now, I'm not sure at the moment if it's Alfred and Edith,.. but thank you,
Newbie

It's a lovely photograph, but different Newings. 

Edith returned to UK during WW1.  I forget when Alfred was demobbed but he went to England to join her - she did not return to Canada.

I just wanted to let you know that the Canadian Census for 1901 and 1906 are already transcribed, and the 1911 is being transcribed now by volunteers. They are available for free at http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html

In Canada, alot of information is free for viewing. In British Columbia, there seems to be even more available.

Also, if you know what towns or cities your family lived in, you can check the local libraries to see if they have a website. Sometimes photo archives, etc. are posted.


Good Luck
