gledhill family from barnsley, england

[yorkshire lad]

Can anyone offer help or advice.
George Ernest Gledhill b 1883 in Barnsley England, his wife Edith Alice Gledhill formerly Chapman b 1883 in Thurgoland England and their daughter Phyllis b 1906 in Barnsley. I can follow them to 1907, but then nothing. A 100 year old mystery says they emigrated to Canada after 1906. I have found a George Ernest Gledhill in the Canadian army during WW1, but with no details. Also all three of the arrived in the port of Liverpool but again with no dates or information, so these people are not necessarily the correct ones.
Any information would be greatfully received,
Thanks,
Yorkshire Lad.
