many thanks for all of latest info ...it was Carrie as we were aware that they emigrated to Canada . we still do not know who the father was of both Minnie and Arthur as they both were illegitimate !!Minnie had a strange third Christian name of Offen and have often wondered if it was associated with her biological father ??
     Any details you mentioned would be most welcome !
