LOOK up for a MARRIAGE THUNDER BAY

Interesting point, but it could be a red herring.

Elizabeth Jane's sister Agnes Wilson sailed to USA 1877 from Avonmouth, Bristol. At some stage she married William Hawley from Syracuse, USA. the 1880 census for USA shows Agnes and William Hawley to be in Bigson County Minnestota. The name has been transcribed as Hanly or could be Hauly, the ages match up and William's background also matches up, their daughter Sadie Agnes Hawley was born Dec 1880 in Minnesota.

I think I've found the Woodman/Woodmass's return to England:

Arrived 8 June 1891 Montreal to Liverpool on the Circassian

Wm H Woodman (labourer) , aged 40 and Eliza Woodman, aged 38 (wife)

This age is more in line with Elizabeth Jane's

Hello Gadget, do you know where William originated from?

It's not on the ship's list but if they're the same ones that I found on the 1901 (Reply#12), he was from Alston in Cumberland and she was from Ashby, Lincolnshire.

Yes, I know - that's why I've said  in a few of the postings that this couple aren't yours. I don't think your Elizabeth married William Woodman/mass

Where did you find the original reference.

We have to eliminate all 'cases' until we find the correct one.

I've checked for marriages and deaths for your Elizabeth in England and Canada (including just using her first name and b. Yorkshire)  but I don't see her at all at the moment. 

I'm wondering if she did go to Canada.

Hello Gadget. It really is an enigma, if she stayed in the Uk who did she marry? From 1858 to 1865 I know she lived in Darley Abbey, Derby and she had many cousins living there ( here uncle Joseph Wilson arrived here in 1854 with his family and his brother Aaron joined him in 1857- 1865 they are all listed on the 1861 census). Perhaps she had a childhood sweetheart and came back to the area. As I could not find a death or marriage for her,  I assumed that she might well have joined the other sisters in canada. Hey Ho! that is family tree for you, for every answer there is 20 questions.

The marriage at Beaver Mines was between William Hall Woodmass s/o Frederick Hall and Mary Ann Woodmass and Elizabeth Jane Wilson d/o Charles and Ameilia Wilson.  Thomas Wilson one of the witnesses.
Definite proof she's not the one you're looking for.
