Wow! Thankyou so much for all those links! I still havent found anything but shall definitely try with the links you have given me there!

The relatives im looking for are:

WINIFRED LEWIN b) 1887 Brington, Hunts
                             m) CECIL WILLMOTT MADDISON
                             d) 01 Nov 1955, Vancouver, BC, Canada. Aged 66

CECIL WILLMOTT MADDISON b) abt 1880, Godmanchester, Hunts
                                              d) 09 Jun 1958, Vancouver, BC, Canada, aged 77


I have also found that one of CECILs brothers died in Vancouver:

ARTHUR ALGERNON MADDISON b) abt1876, Godmanchester, Hunts
                                                 d) 22 Mar 1948, Vancouver, BC, Canada. Aged 72.



Both CECIL and WINIFRED are on the 1901 census in godmanchester living with their own familes. (Arthur Algernon is not). By 1912 they are married and on a ship sailing BACK to Bashaw in Alberta. (The ship list says that their last permanent address was in Bashaw, Alberta).

I have searched for marriages from 1903 to 1912 in England, but have found nothing.

Thankyou for your help with the links, and if you do happen to find anything i would be very pleased to know!!!!

Kind Regards,

Emma.
