DOWNEY/FOWLER - To Canada
« on: Wednesday 01 April 09 23:04 BST (UK) »
Ernest FOWLER married Millicent Irene Fulton DOWNEY on the 20th of July 1920 at Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.   It is believe that Ernest Fowler lived at Qu'Appelle Saskatchewan.  Millicent Downey arrived Canada from Liverpool on the Melita on the 17th of July 1920.  Since July 1920, she has disappeared.

Any help or suggestion - greatly appreciated.
