www.automatedgenealogy.com shows this family in 1911 in Toronto South. Henry and Agnes are listed as coming to Canada in 1890, the younger children b. England as coming in 1910, so you could look for both crossings.

 - Henry (senior!) signed up in WWI, as Henry Ruben Rand (claims to be born 1870, says he served in the Boer war). They were in Parry Sound by this point. Son Norman also signed up, son Henry Edward not listed (deceased, in navy/merchant navy - Parry Sound is a port - signed up in England or US instead?)
